lyrics

Two violins sitting on a table
Maestro does approach
One is his the other is a stranger's
A mystery of notes

Maestro pulls from its leather casing
A beautiful horsehair bow
Rosins up makes it nice and ready
To play a song he knows

Two violins two violins
It begins with two violins
A symphony of sound and metaphors abound
From just two violins

With a flourish and a steely eye
Maetro picks one up
Stands a moment holding it so close
Resting in its cup

Every note resonates inside him
Before he even plays the strings
Then the magic happens unexpected
As both begin to sing

Two violins two violins
It begins with two violins
A symphony of sound and metaphors abound
From just two violins

Violins are like human voices
When one is sounded all relate
In this way speaking is like music
The heart does resonate
