Play Me a Song

"Misery is wasted on the miserable" - Louis C.K

Play me a song

That will lift up my mood

And soothe my wear your old heart

Make me dream of robins and bluebells and the sound of a baby’s laugh

Play me a song Mr piano man

As I drink my worries away

I once was happy and dandy

And had plenty of cash

With dreams and big plans for my life

Do you know Mr piano man

That I can’t sleep at night

I lay and fret the night away

Fearing a repeat of my miserable yesterdays

Oh play me a song

Play me any old song

As right now anything will do

But make the keys sing and make it swell the room

So I can feel something in this corspe of a heart

Play me a song

Just play me a song

Before I order another round of gin and beer

The night is young I’ve got hours to spare

Before the sun chases this intoxicating moonlight away

Play me a song

That'll peel back the curtain of time

That'll remind me of home

A place I yearn to be

A place that no longer exists

Play me a song! Oh play me a song

And anything will do

Coz I’ve got no home and no love of my own

Just plenty of misery
