Apr 24 2022 As the Banjo Plays … Lyrics English

These are the official lyrics for the song “As the Banjo Plays”. It’s track #7, or the bonus track, from the album “Don’t Forget Me”.

Verse 1

I remember now
The day you bought your instruments
I recall you finally
Opening up
Your heart

Verse 2

If you can’t tell me
I’ve no place in your mute life
All your soothing
Melodies still enjoyed
In spite

Chorus 1

Saying he will sail
Safe into the night

He will be there
When you’re giving up on life

And he’ll come singing
And he’ll come singing
‘Till you sleep

Verse 3

(And) as the banjo plays
Our kids a million miles away
Will they know
That these pained words
Would become your last

Chorus 2

Saying he will sing
Late into the night

He’ll say the words
When you’re done and filled with hurt

Oh he will change then
He will transform like
A songbird

Bridge

And as the banjo broke
His songs stuttered and he choked
He was never what you dreamt
But you loved

Chorus 3

Him with all
Your heart he kept in tune

He’ll clear the air
From despair because he cares

And he’ll keep asking
Oh he’ll keep asking
Until you say
Alright

You can hold me tight
