[Chorus] To my sad spirit, old guitar To my sad spirit, old guitar [Verse 2] It is as if the warm sunlight In some deep glen should lingering stay, When clouds of tempest and of night Had wrapped the parent orb away. [Chorus] To my sad spirit, old guitar To my sad spirit, old guitar [Bridge] It is as if the glassy brook Should still reflect its willows fair, Though years ago, the woodman’s stroke Laid low in dust their gleaming hair. [Verse 3] Even so, guitar, your magic tone Has moved the tear and waked the sigh, Has bid the ancient torrent flow Although its very source is dry! [Final Chorus] To my sad spirit, old guitar To my sad spirit, old guitar To my sad spirit, old guitar [Final Solo]
