WOOD AND STRINGS

Cara Jones


Wood and string is all you need to make this here guitar
I once was your favorite thing but now we've grown apart
You used to sing your love for me back when it all was new
Yesterday you packed away the wood and strings that lured my heart to you

Teenage boys learn that two sticks can make a fire start
Grown-up men know it's as easy to break a woman's heart
You used to sing your love for me back when our hearts were young
Yesterday you packed away the wood and strings and left me all alone

Like a river you were running faster than I could
I tried to bend but only broke like I was made of wood
You used to sing your love for me but now your song is sung
Yesterday you packed away the wood and strings and left me all alone
Yesterday you packed away the wood and string and now my world is done
