lyrics
(is this a loan) I put it in his hands in a music room in September And said it's yours now, don't be careful with the thing And he held it like a man being handed something wet And he said is this a loan. Is this a loan. He said that. Is this a loan (a loan) Fourteen years old, a loan Nobody gives him anything, a loan A loan Is this a loan, a loan, is this a loan That is not a question a well-given child asks Is this a loan, a loan, is this a loan And I said no. And he sat down on the floor. (solo sax, 8 bars) Grace gave it away to a stranger's child in fifty-nine. My teacher gave it to me at twelve and asked for nothing. Three times now. Three times somebody said: it's yours. Don't be careful. (band returns, gently) Is this a loan, a loan, is this a loan That is not a question a well-given child asks Is this a loan, a loan, is this a loan And I said no. And he sat down on the floor. (it's yours...)
