Blue Moons - Takamine Lyrics

You showed me to fly
Let alone how to walk
I knew how to sing
Before I could even talk

I learned from your wisdom and
Your hands guided mine
I guess I never thought about
The insistence of time

And I know, oh I know that
You didn't have a clue
But you know that I don't
Think you'd have stopped it if you knew

Well I've been thinking about this old worn Takamine
It reminds me of the days I never lived

And the seasons marched on
Slipping by day by day
I'd bring you the ball
But you wouldn't want to play

And your hands, once steady
Now could not play the blues
I didn't cry when they told me
Felt like I already knew

Well I've been thinking about this old worn Takamine
Reminds me of the days I never lived
And I think you ought to know there never could be
Another empty heartbreak such as this

Well when you said I shouldn't bother
You found comfort in a bottle
Yet you said I meant a lot to you

But when you're withering in front of me
Can't help but think you've gotta be
A little more than halfway through

Your inescapable comittments
Didn't seem so very threatening
When you don't think about the damage done

I don't know just what you wanted
But I hope you f*cking got it
Cause I'm feeling just a little bit undone

Well I've been thinking about this god damned takamine and all the days you could have
Should have lived
Maybe there was a way back then
But you made your choice

Now I'll live with it
