Lyrics

My Guitar is a song that Phil wrote back in 2002. As you may know, Phil LOVES to play guitar! 

This song is all about the magic of guitars, where they come from, and how they transform from nature to man-made instruments that evoke our hopes and dreams in music. 

Each verse repeats a word in the last line of the previous verse.  In this way, the story links together until it eventually circles back to the first verse again.

My Guitar once was a tree  
In the forest green  
It caught the sunlight   
That fell upon its leaves  
Now it catches dreams  

My dreams   
Once were real  
Real as a unicorn  
Real as the flames from a dragon's mouth  
In a puff of smoke they were gone 

Long gone    
Far far away     
Far as I can fly  

Long gone   
Gone with the day   
Behind the sky  

The sky    
Once was my mind   
In days when minds were free   
To climb the clouds   
To chase the wind   
High above the trees 

My Guitar once was a tree  
In the forest green  
It caught the sunlight   
That fell upon its leaves  
Now it catches dreams
