Lyrics
Up in the garret, away from the din
Someone is playing an old violin
Tenderly, pleadingly, so the notes fall
Just for the love of the music, that’s all
What is he playing there all the day long?
Bits of old melody, scraps of old song
Sweet, half forgotten things out of the years
Rapture and agony, laughter and tears
Tenderly, pleadingly, playing an old violin
Up in the garret, away from the din
Someone is playing an old violin
Performance
