The Old Piano


The Old Piano sits up side the wall
Idle and still
Some ones childhood memory
But certainly not mine
All it does is bring me heartache and misery
All I ever hear is that it worked just fine
I'm tired of hearing that dastardly line

The Old Piano sits up side the wall
Idle and still
There it stood one day when I was depressed
Upset and really very ill
So in a fit of depressive rage
I beat its ivory keys with my walking cane
I think that was much better than going insane
Taking a gun,blowing out my pitiful old brain

The Old Piano sits upside the wall
Idle and still
Bowing out its chest with vanity and pride
While I just want to crawl up in dark hole and hide
Yes.I am being petty and snide
I have sit here and cried over a piece of smelly wood
That should be thrown outside

The Old Piano sits upside the wall
Idle and still
It sits there all stinky musty and old
So much love for it is boastfully told
Many memories I sure it must hold
But, they are not yours or mine
So to me they are not worth a thin dime

The Old Piano will sit upside the wall
Idle and still
Long after I'm gone. I just wonder
Will the broken keys remind you of me your MOM ????
Will you remember that day
I was hurting,sick and didn't mean to do anything WRONG!!!
OR cause any harm

The Old Piano sits upside the wall
Idle and still
To chop it to the ground
Would give me great pleasure
Such a surging thrill
But,I won't cause to you it is such a big Deal
Maybe some day you will see it was just a hunk
Of smelly old wood and I was a person
Who was alive and real

The Old Piano sits upside the wall
Idle and still
I do miss the Gospel Music
My daughter played for me
I have said I am sorry a million times over
So why can't you forgive and just let it be


One Mans junk is another mans Treasure
Will you one day treasure something of mine??
