From the recording In This Room
Song For Leon
Lyrics
Song for Leon
(Jim Quealy Middle Room Music)
Must of played a song for you
A hundred million times
Made up my own bad rhyme
Love was in there hiding
Anthology of sound
Back in the golden age
Played off every page
Right Through to Masquerade
but Janey makes me cry
To see her vacant eyes
That needle in the vein
Now I see you in the sky
Early morning rain
Strange time that we're passing through
Thought you'd tell me when your time was due
I played to Lady Blue
And I seen that sun go down
Left home and came around
Back to the island
That tightrope I would walk
Between the fire and ice
Top hat , it felt nice
Spotlight lit the night
but Janey makes me cry
To see her vacant eyes
That needle in the vein
Now I see her in the sky
Early morning rain
But don’t think we'll see the likes
Of the master of space and time again/
