Ballad Of A Poet

(álbum: Somethingness - 2018)

He came on like a mountaineer
Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers
And there was something different in the air
Something magical, the crowd was unprepared
And he was long and lean, he held that stage
And Jenny looked at me with reverence on her face
And she said we left our bodies there that night
'Cause the music shook our souls and saved our lives

Tonight we radiate
The lines have been erased
And I can't leave this place
Leave this place, leave this place

Now, this ain't New York or Berlin
It's just a small town bring down
Kind of happening, conviction etched upon his face
Like Lenny Bruce or some fucked-up William Blake
Cloaked in denim head to toe
He traded words like souvenirs in stereo
Something different about this night
'Cause it was happening right before our eyes

Tonight we radiate
The lines have been erased
And I can't leave this place
Leave this place, leave this place

Tonight we radiate
Tonight we radiate

Tonight we radiate
The lines have been erased
And I can't leave this
I can't leave this place

Tonight we radiate
The lines have been replaced
And I can't leave this
I can't leave this place

He came on like a mountaineer
Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers
And there was something different in the air
Something magical, the crowd was unprepared
