Stringman |
You can say the soul is gone |
And the feeling is just not there |
Not like it was so long ago. |
On the empty page before you |
You can fill in what you care |
Try to make it new before you go. |
Take the simple case of the serge |
Who can’t go back to war |
'Cause the hippies tore down everything that he was fighting for. |
Or the lovers on the blankets |
That the city turned to whores |
With memories of green kissed by the sun. |
You can say the soul is gone |
And close another door |
Just be sure that yours is not the one. |
And I’m singing for the stringman |
Who lately lost his wife |
There is no dearer friend of mine |
That I know in this life. |
On his shoulder rests a violin |
For his head where chaos reigns |
But his heart can’t find a simple way |
To live with all those things. |
All those things |
He’s a stringman |
A stringman |
All those strings to pull |
