I heard he had

a good song
I heard he had a style
So I came to see him

to listen for a while
And there he was

this young boy
a stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain
with his fingers

singing my life
with his words
Killing me softly
with his song

telling my whole life
with his words
Killing me softly

with his song...
I felt all flushed
with fever

embarrassed by
the crowd
I felt he found my

letters and read
each one out loud
I prayed that he
would finish

but he just kept
right on...
Strumming my pain
with his fingers

singing my life
with his words
Killing me softly
with his song

telling my whole life
with his words
Killing me softly

with his song...
Strumming my pain
with his fingers

singing my life
with his words
Killing me softly
with his song

telling my whole life
with his words
Killing me softly

with his song...
He sang as if

he knew me
in all my dark despair
Then he looked

right through me
as if I wasn't there
He iust kept on singing

singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain
with his fingers

singing my life
with his words
Killing me softly

with his song
Killing me softly
with his song

telling my whole life
with his words
Killing me softly

with his song...
Strumming my pain
with his fingers

singing my life
with his words
Killing me softly
with his song

telling my whole life
with his words
Killing me softly

with his song...
