lyrics

Well, I had a blue guitar
like Townes Van Zandt only wished
and it played things as they are,
which got Picasso pissed.

Think of it as machine gun fire
think of it perhaps as bells
or as Wallace Stevens once observed
a tune beyond us, yet of ourselves.

And it played a host to dreams,
a shielding and a sigh,
and less complicated schemes,
but it never never told a lie

And when I least expect it
it recalled with some directness
some moments between you and me.

Well, I had a blue guitar
like Townes Van Zandt only wished
and it played things as they are
but it played them hit and miss.
