I saw the old man takin out his trash
On the day that he died, and that was that
"And I said to Lenny how lonely does it get?"
And I saw a child run out into the street
Chasing after the ball, and a truck was picking up speed
And a journalist appeared standing next to me
She said isn't it a shame, isn't it a tragedy?
Well the sun set right on time
And we kneeled before the sweet headline
And I was just about to lose my mind in the salty sea, baby
But I won't let it bother me
Oh Richard come on out of that tree
Won’t you roll another joint for me
Okay?
I saw the promoter standing by the stage
With a drink in his hand, getting paid
And Christ is finally getting around
To taking those piano lessons that he's been talkin about
And the sun rose right on time
And we looted all the leftover wine
I had the captain on the line
He was saying something sweet, to me
The sirens aren't making a sound
Would you look at all this love that I found
This is the last time I go downtown
Okay, goodbye
I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
