Piano Man

piano man, piano man

I use to be one who watched

the plucks of keys, would buckle my knees

every note would swell my heart

American dream, a lions team

you’d say to me in the dark

under the stars the world was ours

foreign words, I learned you taught

One Fall’s day you’d fade away

piano man, no more to me

the look in your eyes I most despised, 

the sorrow taking feat

we danced no longer to the keys

I knew they were not real

the lure you set, had me contempt  

silence, I did reel

piano man, oh piano man

the people use to watch

it was a play for your parents say

a heart they had not touched
