Tears On Steel Strings

While the sun was sleeping
he laid the guitar on his knee
in the darkness strumming
love can be so lonely.

Tears falling from his heart
upon the steel strings
echoing through an empty house
so sadly did they ring.

All alone he played
a memory of a melody
imagining her smile
while she quietly listened
love can be so lonely.
