lyrics

The Singer

The singer was a big big man
Who just got bigger
The singer was a large large man
Oh, he was larger than life

A dollar for your whiskey
A quarter for your wine
Can I borrow or take
A page from your notebook
To read between lines
For beginners sake

I’m fairly sure you know
That I don’t want to be like you
Nor could if I tried
But each note I write
Has a new point of view
Oh, since you have died

The singer was a big big man
Who just got bigger
The singer was a large large man
Oh, he was larger than life

I’d like to hang out with your pieces
And spend a little time
As long as I stand
Behind the masters
Of moments sublime
Between you and the band

If words could describe
What your records taught me
I’d write them in song
In this way we’ve chosen
To forever speak
Now that you’re gone

The singer was a big big man
Who just got bigger
The singer was a large large man
Oh, he was larger than life
