| [00:30.37] |
You can say the soul is gone |
| [00:35.76] |
And the feeling is just not there |
| [00:41.66] |
Not like it was so long ago |
| [00:51.71] |
On the empty page before you |
| [00:57.21] |
You can fill in what you care |
| [01:03.76] |
Try to make it new before you go |
| [01:13.30] |
Take the simple case of the serge |
| [01:19.39] |
Who wouldn't go back to war' |
| [01:24.70] |
Cause the hippies tore down everything that he was fighting for |
| [01:36.16] |
Or the lovers on the blankets |
| [01:42.77] |
That the city turned to whores |
| [01:48.36] |
With memories of green kissed by the sun. |
| [01:59.76] |
You can say the soul is gone |
| [02:05.10] |
And close another door |
| [02:10.69] |
Just be sure that yours is not the one |
| [02:26.16] |
And I'm singing for the stringman |
| [02:31.96] |
Who lately lost his wife |
| [02:37.41] |
There is no dearer friend of mine |
| [02:42.64] |
That I know in this life |
| [02:47.64] |
On his shoulder rests a violin |
| [02:53.23] |
For his head where chaos reigns |
| [02:58.78] |
But his heart can't find a simple way |
| [03:04.42] |
To live with all those things |
| [03:12.04] |
All those things |
| [03:17.88] |
He's a stringman |
| [03:23.73] |
A stringman |
| [03:28.67] |
All those strings to pull |
