He went to Paris looking for answers to the questions that bothered him so |
|
He was impressive, young and aggressive saving the world on his own |
|
The warm summer breezes and French wine and cheeses |
|
Put his ambitions at bay |
|
Summers and Winters scattered like splinters and 4 to 5 years slipped away |
|
He went to England played the piano and married an actress named Kim |
|
They had a good life she was a fine wife and bore him a young son named Jim |
|
All of the answers to most of the questions locked in his attic some day |
|
But he liked the quiet clean country living and 20 more years skipped away |
|
Solo: |
|
The war took his baby the bombs killed his lady and left him with only one eye |
|
His body was battered his whole world was shattered and |
|
All he could do was just cry |
|
While the tears were falling he was recalling the answers that he never found |
|
Hopped on a freighter skated the ocean and left England without a sound |
|
Now he lives in the islands fishes the pilings and drinking his Green label each day |
|
Writing his memoirs losing his hearing but he don't care what most people say |
|
After 86 years of perpetual motion if he likes you he'll smile and say |
|
Some of it's magic some of it's tragic but I had a good life all the way |
|
He went to Paris looking for answers to the questions that bothered him so |
