Chorus:
O string of sorrow
sing for nobody
yesterday and tomorrow
sing short or long
O string of sorrow
sing for nobody
yesterday and tomorrow
anybody’s song
What others may play
you sound on your own
now grieving, now gay
invisible one
Root of a part
that nobody planned
fingered by heart
and an unseen hand
(Chorus)
Gut cord spanning
beginning and end
pass understanding
enemy, friend
The joys that bear you
no one can explain
and the tears that hear you
no one can restrain
(Chorus)
