I heard he sang a good song |
|
I heard he had a style |
|
And so I came to see him |
|
To listen for a while |
|
And there he was this young boy |
|
A stranger to my eyes |
|
Strumming my pain with his fingers |
|
Singing my life with his words |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
Telling my whole life with his words |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
I felt all flushed with fever |
|
Embarassed by the crowd |
|
I felt he found my letters |
|
And read each one out loud |
|
I prayed that he would finish |
|
But he just kept right on |
|
Strumming my pain with his fingers |
|
Singing my life with his words |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
Telling my whole life with his words |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
He sang as if he knew me |
|
In all my dark despair |
|
And then he looked right through me |
|
As if I wasn't there |
|
And he just kept on singing |
|
Singing clear and strong |
|
Strumming my pain with his fingers |
|
Singing my life with his words |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
Telling my whole life with his words |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
Killing me softly with his song |
|
Telling my whole life with his words |
|
Killing me softly |
