When I was a younger man
of tender age and fair,
and bent upon a lifelong plan,
my music I would share.
I spent my days at work
with my guitar and violin.
Music my devoted search
for God was there within.
"It won't be long," I used to say,
"a master I will be.
Others then will come my way
with their camaraderie."
And so it was, my name was known
and welcomed everywhere.
Upon the eve success mine own
a woman brought my heart despair.
"Come unto to me and taste my wine,
And feel the warmth of love devine.
And let me soothe your weary soul
So I may aid you toward your goal."
And so I took her unaware.
No fear of danger hidden there.
In lover's weakened sleep I lay.
My music did she steel away.
But she had want of more than me
so others shared my misery.
And deeper was my sorrow driven
until with madness I was ridden.
My violin, it would not sing.
My hands did shake upon the strings.
My sure guitar had lost it's song.
My life no more could I prolong.
Tomorrow they will bury me
beneath the whispering willow tree,
So I may hear it sing to me
it's gentle tune
eternally.
It's gentle tune ....
