Imaginary Guitars Lyrics by Virgil Shaw

Still Falling

2002

On the edge of still water
Downtown not very far
He just stands in a doorway
Running his imagination
Through imaginary guitars
Well nobody saw him coming
In his eyes they were a reflection of the stars
A galaxy that's filled with torment
Milky madness
Reflect on traffic and cars
They said that he couldn't do it
Some say that he just couldn't get through it
But somehow he still stands
Like he's got something
Yeah, there in his hands
On the edge of still water
Oh, downtown not very far
He just stands in a doorway
Running his imagination
Through imaginary guitars
He plays out what he's seen and what he sees
And tries to play out his disease
It's like he's trying to call home
But there's no phone
And nobody's home
What a drag it is when you're getting old
And that's the only life that you'll ever hold
And all that gear that you carried up the stairs
It all just disappears
And nobody hears
On the edge of still water
Downtown not very far
He just stands in the doorway
Running his imagination
Through imaginary guitars
