18 : 4/28/98 : Piano Tuner’s Song

I play, not all that well
better than most, I suppose
But then I know better than most
just how well it can be played

But I love pianos so
I love my job I love
making the strings true
making the strings ring true

Everyone becomes quiet when
the piano tuner starts to work
with his small tools and fork
bending the notes to true

I feel so peaceful as
I'm tuning my pianos
Listening, pulling out the true
the true notes, the pure tones
