Play my solitary guitar
Recall the moments sweet and bitter
Until the emptiness is
Filled with dreams of you
Thoughts that drift
From past to present
Wonder how your love is fading
Are you by any chance
Comparing me with him?
Ooh... Can I still cling to illusions
That there'll be a solution?
Ooh... Am I a fool still chasing shadows
Without a star to follow
But after all's said and done
I can't help wishing you well
I still believe time will tell
If he breaks your heart
If he turns away
I'll take up the part
I won't ever stray
So play, blue guitar
Play that sad refrain
Carry me so far
Till I feel no pain
Play on, blue guitar
Play that sad refrain
Carry me so far
Take me from the pain
