Once I knew a man
Showed me the slight of hand
Blink of an eye, he danced across the stringsPlayed a song I'd never heard
Poignant and absurd
To this day, it leaves me wonderingDon't let tomorrow find you wishin'
Boy you've got a mission
Shake it, rattle and rollNow, just use your intuition
You'll get less competition
From the clock up on the wallYou are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for mePlay me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for me
Yeah'Cause we'll all make believe
Someone to deceive
Time is just a folly we can't seeIf you only know one song
Play it right or wrong
The truth is always somewhere in betweenYou and I, we can't change the weather
We're all in this together
So let the strong winds blowNow things will be much better
Don't become a prisoner
The reason you should knowYou are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for mePlay me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for meDon't let tomorrow find you wishin'
Boy you've got a mission
Shake it, rattle and rollAh, now, just use you intuition
You'll get less competition
From the clock up on the wallYou are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for mePlay me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for meYou are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for mePlay me a serenade
Red wine or lemonade
Play on your blue guitar for meYou are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for mePlay me a serenade
A simple masquerade
Play on your blue guitar for meYou are what you are
You dream what you dream
Play on your blue guitar for me
