lyrics

Watching Fingers

I would stare at pictures of the legendary kings
Studied all the shape they made while touching certain strings
When someone who played guitar would show up on TV
All the close-ups never were close enough for me

I kept on Watching Fingers, I kept on Watching Fingers
I worshipped all six-stringers, and kept on Watching Fingers

Like sign language, I could not communicate that way
Till someone gave me a book written by Mel Bay
I would count the days until my calluses would form
This obsessing on guitar I figured was the norm

I kept on Watching Fingers, I kept on Watching Fingers
I would ignore the singers, and kept on Watching Fingers

Today I watch long solo breaks
My eyes are focused to detect the small mistakes

Now I'm teaching what I know to kids who want to play
I get paid to do what I'd be doing anyway
But the brightest that my star has ever got to shine
Is when the students that I have keep their eyes on mine

We keep on Watching Fingers, We keep on Watching Fingers
The fascination lingers, We keep on Watching Fingers

Each time Sal heard a new Dunbar record, he wondered why he was never asked to play on it. They both always dreamed of playing with mutual friend, Sal Maida. After the unspoken was spoken, The John Sally Ride was formed. ... more
