As My Guitar Sings

With a single, soft strum
with chords strung together
I'm lost from where I've come
My ties to this world sever

Filled with child-like awe
deep in a dreams wonder
joy flows like a river raw
as I strum and as I wander

And my guitar it sings
and the trees begin to sway
with the soft, blowin breeze
and the songs that I play

Then the ancient mountain souls
come forth from their dark holes
rumble deep and mighty groans
singing bass to my sweet tones

And the stars shine bright
with a light harmony
twinkling angels of the night
like a choir above me

And the ocean's waves crash
like a snares snapping beat
and the stones they splash
dancing right up to my feet

And the words that we sing
are cheerful poems untold
And the sounds of our strings
bring the skies to unfold

At the first light of dawn
golden rays shine from the sun
and the orchestra plays on
lost forever in our fun
