LEGEND'S LAMENT
LEGEND'S LAMENT
(T. Beechey)
He remembers the nights,the cross-country flights,the parties and the girls
He still hears the crowds roaring loud as he sat atop the world
He took his shot,got what he got,yet still his hunger burns
But it's too late and he must wait as others take their turns
He's still living out his dream but now he's wide awake
And no longer does it seem worth the effort to make
He's reached his peak,now it's all a weak attempt to stay in tune
He's still living out his dream but he woke up way too soon
He had his time when he was in his prime and he savored every drop
Going round and round from town to town,he never thought it would stop
It was a shock to him when the lights went dim and the crowds began to fade
But he didn't learn and thought they'd return the longer that he stayed
He's still living out his dream but now he's wide awake
And no longer does it seem worth the effort to make
He's reached his peak,now it's all a weak attempt to stay in tune
He's still living out his dream but he woke up way too soon
Yes,he made his mark and now in a dark secluded spot somewhere
He recalls the past,how he thought it would last and all the fun back there
Someplace in his mind,he seeks to find the key to way back when
To reclaim his fame and make his name worth mentioning again
He's still living out his dream but now he's wide awake
And no longer does it seem worth the effort to make
He's reached his peak,now it's all a weak attempt to stay in tune
He's still living out his dream but he woke up way too soon
