Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  know a girl with cuts  on her legs.
I  think that she hates the way  she was made,
but  we never spoke of why  they were there,
I  just squeezed them and kissed  them
‘til  we both felt a bit  better.
And  now I’ve returned to the town  where she dwells;
that  small lonely cabin her grandfather  built,
I  suppose that’s where she’s imprisoned  herself,
to  write all those words  she’s too scared  to tell  –
those  sad, short  stories of a girl  curled up  in her shell.
Night  and day  she tends  to the bar.
She  pours the drinks,  they pour out  their hearts.
All  that sorrow  and al-co-hol
weighs  hard on her thoughts,
 so she writes  them down
 .
she  loves them all.
And  when we’d make love
she’d  stare in my eyes….
I  swore we had met a thousand  times.
Thousands  of lives, thousands  of nights….
 She’d written within  a thousand lines.
 (pause)
Night  and day  she tends  to her bar.
She  pours me a drink  for my thirsty heart.
All  my sorrow’s  in al-co-hol…
she  holds up the  cup to my parched  lips
 for a kiss.
