I can still smell the fire Even though it's long died out The smoke still hangs in my hair And on some quiet evenings it burns my eyes So darling, play your violin I know it's what you live for Darling, play your violin We will manage somehow I once lived in the sea Bring me to your ear, you can hear The tide where I used to be Though now I'm but a shell, Oh babe, Don't say sorry Darling, play your violin I know it's what you live for Darling, play your violin We will manage somehow Don't dare regret anything Remember what you're here for, you Just play your violin And we will manage somehow.
