lyrics

WE’VE ALWAYS BEEN MUSICIANS
WE’VE BEEN SEEN ON THE STAGE
AND WE WILL STILL BE MUSICIANS
EVEN IF YOU TURN, TURN ANOTHER PAGE

Just to feel fingers on strings
Just to hear how a note rings
Just to touch the wood and the wire
It’s like a smouldering, slow-burning fire

WE’VE ALWAYS...

In the vibration of sound in the bone
In the shiver of skin you are not alone
To hear the air carry this song
I do not count the time for it’s a whole life long

WE’VE ALWAYS...

The simplest of tunes to an intricate song
Nothing’s perfect and nothing is wrong
To have the music residing in your hands
You’re not deciding, you’re just riding in the song-strands

WE’VE ALWAYS...

So come all you musicians
All who want to play
Come all you singers
Let’s sing and play, let’s play our lives away

Let’s play, let’s play, let’s play our lives away
Let’s play, let’s play, let’s play our lives away
