Killing Me Softly

I heard she sang a good song
I heard she had a style
And so I came to see her
And listen for a while
And there she was this young girl
A stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with her fingers

Singing my life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
Killing me softly with her song

Telling my whole life with her words
Killing me softly with her song
By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
She'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be working
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all

Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
And I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so
(By the time I make Oklahoma)

She'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
By the time I get to Phoenix
Strumming my pain with her fingers
