Strumming my pain with his fingers,

,

(strum ' , ' . . .)
Singing my life with his words,

,

(word ', ' . words , .)

Killing me softly with his song,

,

(kill ', ' . . . , kill . "The outstanding finale killed the audience." " ." .)

Killing me softly with his song,

,

Telling my whole life with his words,

I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.

And so I came to see him to listen for a while.

('for a while' ', , ' . "I'll be out of town for a while. I'm going to Korea." " . ." . "Sit down and stay for a while." " ." .)

And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes.

I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd,

I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.

He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair.

,
(despair ', ' . 'in despair' ', ' . "After his wife left him, in despair, he stayed drunk for the next three nights." " ." .)

And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there.

('look right through' . . "I tried to talk to him, but he looked right through me." " ." . "I tried to engage the woman next to me in conversation, but she looked right through him." " . ." . . .)

And he just kept on singing, singing clear and strong.

,

('keep on ~ ing' '~ ' . "US will keep on fighting against terrorists." " ." .)
