Song Never Played - Aaron Booth

And she held my hand as if it were a prop

And her tears all dried like lines that she forgot

And she’d laugh with the air of a hurried scene change

She could say goodbye like exiting a stage

Into her face I’d stare like an empty theatre

Darkness inside the concert hall

The curtain would fall, the curtain would rise and fall and rise

But something kept my shoes glued right to the floor

Even when the lights went out I’d wait for more

The box office man said I can pay what I can

I told him all that I could give were the words of being a man

Who’d found his heart and then gave his heart

To the sound of a song that’s never played
