I once knew a man
  Showed me the sleight of hand
  In the blink of an eye he danced across the strings
  He played a song I'd never heard
  Poignant and absurd
  And to this day it leaves me wondering
  
  How I wish tommorrow I were fishin'
  Boy Igot a mission, to shake it rattle and roll
  Oh now just use your intuition
  You'll get less competition, from the clock upon the wall
  
  You are what you are
  You dream what you dream
  Play on your blue guitar for me
  Play me serenade
  A simple masquerade
  Play on your blue guitar for me
  
  Was he real or make-believe
  Or someone to deceive
  That time is just a folly we can't see
  You only know one song
  Play it right or play it wrong
  'Cause the truth is always somewhere in between
  
  You and I - we can't change the weather
  And we're all in this together so let the stong wind blow
  Oh now things will be much better
  If you don't become a prisoner to the reason you should know
  
  You are what you are
  You dream what you dream
  Play on your blue guitar for me
  Play me a serenade
  A lover's masquerade
  Play on your blue guitar for me
  
  (let's play it boys)
  
  How I wish tommorrow I were fishin'
  Boy Igot a mission, to shake it rattle and roll
  Oh now just use your intuition
  You'll get less competition, from the clock upon the wall
  
  You are what you are
  You dream what you dream
  Play on your blue guitar for me
  Play me serenade
  Red wine and lemonade
  Play on your blue guitar for me
