Peter Mayer - Japanese bowl

^GI’m like one of those Japanese bowls ^EmThat were made long ago ^CI have some cracks in me ^D/F#They have been filled with gold

^GThat’s what they used back then ^EmWhen they had a bowl to mend ^CIt did not hide the cracks ^D/F#It made them shine instead

^CSo now every old scar shows ^Amfrom every time I broke ^GAnd anyone’s eyes can see ^D/F#I’m not what I used to be ^CBut in a collector’s mind ^AmAll of these jagged lines ^GMake me more beautiful ^D/F#And worth a much higher price

^GI’m like one of those Japanese bowls ^EmI was made long ago ^CI have some cracks you can see ^D/F#See how they shine of gold.
