The sound of his favorite song it kept him up all night long
He says the words bring a tear to his eye
He stays up late and watches the sun rise sometimes
He likes to watch the moon fade from in the sky
Chorus
Sometimes the music seems to soothe his soul
And he gets lost in his lonesome songs
Sometimes he hears her sing beside him in the night
He’s a lost songwriter who can’t find the words to write
Guitar on the front of the boat
He’s playin’ songs that he wish he had wrote
And God’s breath hummin’ out a tune
The stars and the rain outside he hopes
Will ease his mind to write
And all of this will bring him home soon
Chorus
Then he stayed up late last night
‘Cause he couldn’t find the words to write
And this good old movie came on the T.V.
It was about these love lost souls searchin’ for someone to hold
He said that sure sounds a lot like me
Chorus
