lyrics

Another song born out of an interesting songwriting exercise--to write from the perspective of an inanimate object. I chose a wonderful purveyor of music: the beloved record player needle... although this could also be sung from the perspective of a lover or a friend as well.

You set me down to lift you up again
Or make some room to cry
I’ll never ask you for a reason why

I’ve got an inkling
That you need me more than you let on
I’ve got a feeling
You’ll be dusting me off before too long
You seek my company when you need a song

You set me down to lift you up again
Or make some room to cry
I’ll never ask you for a reason why

Set the record straight
I’ll send it spinning ‘round and ‘round
I’ll try not to skip ahead
Keep it steady in the sound
So pure and close, so lost and found

Oh, if you let me, I’ll take you back in time
And if you need to cry
I’ll never ask you for a reason why

And I know I’m not the only one
I know there’s many more like me
But please be gentle with your hand
And I will do the best I can
To ease your mind and set your heart free

Oh, if you let me, I’ll take you back in time
And if you need to cry
I’ll never ask you for a reason why

So set me down to lift you up again
Or make some room to cry
I’ll never ask you for a reason why
I’ll never ask you for a reason why
I’ll never ask you for a reason why
