[00:17.830] I love to speak with Leonard
[00:20.820] He's a sportsman and a shepherd
[00:23.900] He's a lazy bastard
[00:26.190] Living in a suit
[00:29.630]
[00:30.340] But he does say what I tell him
[00:33.990] Even though it isn't welcome
[00:36.459] He just doesn’t have the freedom
[00:39.499] To refuse
[00:42.029]
[00:42.699] He will speak these words of wisdom
[00:45.879] Like a sage, a man of vision
[00:48.419] Though he knows he's really nothing
[00:51.749] But the brief elaboration of a tube
[00:54.699]
[00:58.329] Going home Without my sorrow
[01:01.990] Going home
[01:02.349] Sometime tomorrow
[01:03.319] Going home To where it's better
[01:07.529] Than before
[01:09.099]
[01:10.309] Going home
[01:11.629] Without my burden
[01:13.859] Going home
[01:14.969] Behind the curtain
[01:16.799] Going home
[01:18.109] Without the costume
[01:19.889] That I wore
[01:21.459]
[01:35.539] He wants to write a love song
[01:38.589] An anthem of forgiving
[01:41.619] A manual for living with defeat
[01:46.019]
[01:47.889] A cry above the suffering
[01:51.029] A sacrifice recovering
[01:54.179] But that isn't what I want him to complete
[01:59.489]
[02:01.190] I want to make him certain
[02:03.379] That he doesn't have a burden
[02:05.769] That he doesn't need a vision
[02:09.060]
[02:09.620] That he only has permission
[02:12.400] To do my instant bidding
[02:16.560] That is to SAY what I have told him
[02:20.040] To repeat
[02:20.720]
[02:21.980] Going home
[02:23.100] Without my sorrow
[02:24.930] Going home
[02:26.190] Sometime tomorrow
[02:28.060] Going home
[02:29.130] To where it's better
[02:31.610] Than before
[02:33.400]
[02:34.190] Going home
[02:35.560] Without my burden
[02:37.530] Going home
[02:38.600] Behind the curtain
[02:40.540] Going home
[02:41.650] Without the costume
[02:43.970] That I wore
[02:45.000]
[02:57.070] Going home
[02:58.400] Without my sorrow
[02:59.770] Going home
[03:00.850] Sometime tomorrow
[03:02.780] To where it's better
[03:04.850] Than before
