The Busker

My Coffee's getting cold there's a capo in my pocket

Time to start singing so I wipe my phone and lock it

And I sing about you

I'm standing in the sun I can smell the fresh air

Life is always greater when you've got a tan to wear

So I wish you could share this with me

And I've been waiting oh so long

To have you sat right here beside me

I was waiting all along

When you thought my heart was gone away

Cut so deep even then I was yours to keep

And now it's so quiet now you're gone

And all that I have is thoughts and this guitar

All that I have I'm hoping it will take me far

And all that I have is thoughts and this guitar

All that I have I'm hoping it will take me far

It gets to afternoon and I haven't made any

Until a nice girl came around and popped a penny

Thank you is what I said

I kept on singing as the sun went down

Had almost given up until a lady came around

She said 'hey, here's ten pounds'

And I've been waiting oh so long

To have you sat right here beside me

I was waiting all along

When you thought my heart was gone away

Cut so deep even then I was yours to keep

And now it's so quiet now you're gone

And all that I have is thoughts and this guitar

All that I have I'm hoping it will take me far

And all that I have is thoughts and this guitar

All that I have I'm hoping it will take me far
