about

Music Is My Lover
Words and Music by Aubrey Atwater, ©1987 Rabbit Island Music

lyrics

My lover has no name
No body; no predictable game
Try and try as I might to grasp her ways
She eludes me everytime

Some days are smooth, harmonious and fine
And others; it's like I'm walking a line
Of frustration and discord and wheels off the track
All that I get, she takes right back

Chorus:
Cause my lover has no name
No body; no predictable game
Try and try as I might to grasp her ways
She eludes me every time

Instrumental

In my room the coffee cup's cool
Balls of paper strewn all around
It's an off day; she's lying so smug on the floor
The strings need changing and my fingers are sore…Chorus
