Changes |
I was cramped into a coffee house pew |
Two dollar coke in my hand |
Listening to the music run |
Through and out of a drowning man |
Ten years ago I first heard him singing |
To a screaming crazy crowd |
Now there’s thirteen loyal people |
Trying to sound that loud |
And I wonder as I watch him now |
Why his songs don’t turn me on |
He got me into music |
Where has the fragile magic gone? |
And all the changes |
Keep on changing |
And the good old days |
They say they’re gone |
Only wise men |
And some new born fools |
Say they know what’s going on |
But I sometimes think the difference is |
Just in how I think and see |
And the only changes going on |
Are going on in me |
There was you and Fifth avenue |
Before there were lies |
And all my hot blood schemes |
And teenage dreams |
Flashed before my eyes |
I did not think I had a chance |
You had to prove me wrong |
It took a year and a half |
Of tears and laughs |
Before you moved along |
And now these long years later |
When I see you once again |
I wonder what you saw in me |
When you loved me way back then |
There I was in you Air Force |
Uncle Sam, you owned my brain |
I tried to see myself as a sex mad savior |
Sailing on a silver plane |
I started out to do my duty |
Ended up just doing time |
What is it about you |
My mother of a country |
That makes so many change our minds |
You had me on your honor roll |
For your dream I would die |
Now I would not even cross the street |
To help you live a lie |
