lyrics

I was visiting my hometown
Didn’t expect to see you (Didn’t want to)
Found myself in that piano bar
You’d often talked about

Well the piano man he was taking a break
I asked if he’d seen you lately
U-huh - but sit down and have a gin

Then he played that song I wrote for you
He played that song I wrote for you
I can hardly, hardly say
The kind of second-hand thrill it gave me
When he played that song I wrote for you

I sat there stunned and I wondered
How did he know my tune?
You’re the only one I’d sent it to
He looked at me knowing
He looked in my eyes
This piano man - you’d shown him with pride
You’d show him that song I wrote for you

Then he played that song I wrote for you
He played that song I wrote for you
Hi eyes met mine - though you weren’t there
you were in that bar most everywhere
When he played that song I wrote for you

I finished my gin
I pushed my chair back in
I forced a smile
But he could see the tears in my eyes

When he played that song I wrote for you
He played that song I wrote for you
I left those tones and I came home
I swear I’ve never felt that alone as
When he played that song I wrote for you

I left those tones and I came home
I swear I’d never felt that alone as
When he played that song I wrote for you

Anna Boulic France

Une harpe qui couine et une voix ardente... c'est la truculente artiste
Franco-Australienne Anna Boulic qui déglingue ce
qu'une harpiste devrait supposément incarner.

A clanging harp and a fiery voice ... she's the earthy
Franco-Australian artist Anna Boulic, messing with every notion
that a harpist should supposedly embody. ... more
