[00:30.37]You can say the soul is gone

[00:35.76]And the feeling is just not there

[00:41.66]Not like it was so long ago

[00:51.71]On the empty page before you

[00:57.21]You can fill in what you care

[01:03.76]Try to make it new before you go

[01:13.30]Take the simple case of the serge

[01:19.39]Who wouldn't go back to war'

[01:24.70]Cause the hippies tore down everything that he was fighting for

[01:36.16]Or the lovers on the blankets

[01:42.77]That the city turned to whores

[01:48.36]With memories of green kissed by the sun.

[01:59.76]You can say the soul is gone

[02:05.10]And close another door

[02:10.69]Just be sure that yours is not the one

[02:26.16]And I'm singing for the stringman

[02:31.96]Who lately lost his wife

[02:37.41]There is no dearer friend of mine

[02:42.64]That I know in this life

[02:47.64]On his shoulder rests a violin

[02:53.23]For his head where chaos reigns

[02:58.78]But his heart can't find a simple way

[03:04.42]To live with all those things

[03:12.04]All those things emm...

[03:17.88]Stringman

[03:23.73]Oh stringman
