She Carried a Violin
Song (1981), from Night Shapes
This Recording

 Buy this recording (MP3) $0.99

Far in the distance I saw her

And longed for her velvety skin

She moved very carefully, spoke not a word

And she carried a violin

 

Hoping to catch her attention

I quickened my pace, closing in

I hadn't a thought what to mention

But she carried a violin

 

What can I do for you, don't like yourself

Sit on a shelf, love is cold

How can help you, your life is a mess

You're, just like you guessed, growing old

Well one of these days you'll find her

She's out there waiting and you'll find her

 

And she'll carry a violin to the wedding

She'll carry a violin

 

--

 

The girl, with her smile unbroken

Knew that you she never could win

She didn't want much

But I thought I could help

So I carried her violin
