All in the Song

歌詞

Bought my girl a hat Bought myself a brand new coat From the money I earned singing on the road Got myself a book I thought I'd take a second look At all those things I thought this boy should know I taught myself a poem The one about old people moving on Sat and I learned it word for word The poem passed the time Of all the poems I've learned in all my life This was the best poem in the world And it's all in the songs The old fashioned songs Played and sung the way all songs should be sung, with guitars Oh, it's all in the songs The old fashioned songs The ones you leave behind you when you're gone I picked up this guitar A piece of wood with half a dozen strings A little damage here and there Such an easy chair To pull up close and rest your voice upon Sending songs out in the air Then I dropped my book And the words fell off the page They all landed on the floor Tried to pick them up But the words grew legs and ran away And as they left, they shut the door And it's all in the songs The old fashioned songs Played and sung the way all songs should be sung, with guitars Oh, it's all in the songs The old fashioned songs The ones you leave behind you when you're gone (Instrumental) We took our heavy coat We climbed the highest hill that we could find Sat down and rested at the top Then you took my face And you wrapped it up inside your cosy hands And I begged you not to stop And all the way back home We laughed and spoke of all the plans we have And that you'd never ever be alone Never heard you sing And you sounded like a three piece kitchen band When you were singing on your own Oh, it's all in the songs The old fashioned songs Played and sung the way all songs should be sung, on guitars It's all in the songs The old fashioned songs The ones you leave behind you when you're gone The ones you leave behind you when you're gone The ones you leave behind you when you're gone
