Stringman Lyrics

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
