Handsome Musician Lyrics - Ani Difranco

He was a handsome musician 

But he had an ugly scar 

You could not see it on him 

But you could hear it when he played guitar 

Naked and nervous silence 

Therefore conversation to abuse 

Stood between us like a parent 

Like a game we had to lose 

He kept an eye on the door 

And his back to the wall 

His walk told of the time it takes for a man to fall 

And I welcomed him into my closet 

To meet the skeletons living there 

In my twilight vacancy 

I didn't care 

We knew each other namelessly 

As the rhythm came of age 

He knew me like a blue note 

And the lights went down on stage 

He was a handsome musician 

But he had an ugly scar 

You could not see it on him 

But you could hear it when he played guitar 

I welcomed him into my closet 

To meet the skeletons living there 

In my twilight vacancy 

I didn't care 

He was a handsome musician 

But he had an ugly scar 

You could not see it on him 

But you could hear it when he played guitar
