'Twas battered and scared
And the auctioneer thought it hardly worth his while
To waste much time on the ol' violin
But he held it up with a smile.

"What am I offered good folks?" he cried
"Who will start the bidding for me?
A dollar, one dollar, two, only two
Two dollars, who will make it three?
Three dollars once, three dollars twice, going for three.

But no, from the back of the room
A gray haired man came forward
And gently picked up the bow

And then wiping the dust from the ol' violin
Tuning the loose strings
He played a melody as pure and sweet
As the caroling angel's sing.

--- Instrumental ---

The music stopped and the auctioneer
With a voice quiet and low, said
"Now what am I bid for the ol' violin?"
He held it up with the bow.

A thousand dollars, who will make it two
Two thousand, who will make it three
Three thousand once, three thousand twice
And going, going and gone.

The people cheered but some of them cried
"We don't understand what changed it's worth?"
Then someone replied
"The touch of the master's hand."

So many a man with life out of tune
Much like the ol' violin
But the Master comes and a change is brought
By the touch of the Master's Hand.

By the touch of the Master's Hand...


Mirror lyrics:

By the touch of the Master's Hand...

By the touch of the Master's Hand.
But the Master comes and a change is brought
Much like the ol' violin
So many a man with life out of tune

"The touch of the master's hand."
Then someone replied
"We don't understand what changed it's worth?"
The people cheered but some of them cried

And going, going and gone.
Three thousand once, three thousand twice
Two thousand, who will make it three
A thousand dollars, who will make it two

He held it up with the bow.
"Now what am I bid for the ol' violin?"
With a voice quiet and low, said
The music stopped and the auctioneer

--- Instrumental ---

As the caroling angel's sing.
He played a melody as pure and sweet
Tuning the loose strings
And then wiping the dust from the ol' violin

And gently picked up the bow
A gray haired man came forward
But no, from the back of the room

Three dollars once, three dollars twice, going for three.
Two dollars, who will make it three?
A dollar, one dollar, two, only two
"Who will start the bidding for me?
"What am I offered good folks?" he cried

But he held it up with a smile.
To waste much time on the ol' violin
And the auctioneer thought it hardly worth his while
'Twas battered and scared

full fat

look in my eyes

dog house roses

cherry man

runaway

blue

somebody's been sleeping in my bed

sono ancora in coma

it's beginning to hurt

nether lands

sedated

she's there when i come home

you don't know me

everything is new

listen to me

i've waited so long

i en sofa fra ikea

pray for the hunted

white christmas
