All for the Sake of the Song

Her name was Stella

And she was old and gray

She had her rusty strings and keys

And the tuner, it took a pair of pliers

And lots of elbow grease

She awakened me to the melody

Like the light from a brand new dawn

And from that moment on

It was all for the sake of the song

Her name was Maggie

She had eyes like fire

That burned for me in the dark

And all she wanted was my very soul

And all she could take from my heart

But to her dismay a choice was made

And when the deed was done

She turned and I was gone

It was all for the sake of the song

And for the sake of the song

I walk my own road

For the sake of the song

Not for silver and gold

Some may think that I am wrong

But in my heart I know

And I've known all along

It was all for the sake of the song

Her name was Laura

She was pure like crystal

Shining alone on the shelf

And from the moment that her eyes met mine

I knew there could be nobody else

Kindred souls singing free in perfect harmony

Two hearts now beat as one

The road goes on and on

And it's all for the sake of the song

For the sake of the song

I walk my own road

For the sake of the song

Not for silver and gold

Some may think that I am wrong

But in my heart I know

And I've known all along

It was all for the sake of the song

Her name's Stella
