Musical Instrument

She's a candle in the window She's a blanket on the bed Sometimes she's a teardrop Sometimes she's an hourglass She's a musical instrument Sometimes she smiles and sometimes she's sad She's a musical instrument You can play her good or you can play her bad But you have to play her To free the music that she has You know she showed me around her mountain You know she told me her heart was poundin' She needs an ocean, and she was hopin', I 'd be the sea I'm just a boat upon the ocean I'm just a ship that's drifted free Usually I'm a mystery Like a book that no one reads I'm a musical instrument I play music by the sea I'm a musical instrument Sometimes I smile and sometimes I'm sad I'm a musical instrument You can play me good or you can play me bad But you have to play me To free the music that I have
