The Songsmith Lyrics by Bruce Guthro

Guthro

[Verse 1]
In a corner by the window
Of a small upstairs apartment
There's a writer with his instrument in hand
He shuffles through some chords
Paces 'cross the dusty floor
Searches for a melody to bend
[Verse 2]
He reaches for a paper
As he feels an inspiration
From the child that he sees playing on the lawn
Begins to ply his trade
Reality begins to fade
He finds a place he feels where he belongs
[Chorus]
And I don't think Michelangelo could have painted any better
The picture that he painted in my mind
There lies the beauty of the songsmith
Take you any place, any time
[Verse 3]
Years and memories they fade
And stars were born and stars were made
The world forgets so easily
'Cause we are mortal men
That's why he struggles with his pen
To try and leave us something to believe
[Verse 4]
Still on and on and on we go
In the ever changing flow
Revolving 'til darkness fills the sky
Whoever really knows
Why it goes the way it goes
Only those who dare to ask the why
[Chorus]
And I don't think Michelangelo could have painted any better
The picture that the old man sang to me
There lies the beauty of the songsmith
Take you any place you want to be
[Bridge]
There's a fire burning
In the darkened hallways of his mind
There's a fire burning
He's trying to find a reason for the rhyme
[Chorus]
And I don't think Michelangelo could have painted any better
The picture that he painted in my mind
There lies the beauty of the songsmith
Take you any place, any time
