Solitary Man

Little Rob, dances in the rain, and he drinks to cover up inane (be)cause he knows, he doesn�t have a place to go.

Joker Man, doesn�t have a hand, his face cracks as he laughs as he plays with the Band, (be)cause he knows, there�s a hollow in his bowl, he says...

I am just a solitary man. I live alone, the best I can.

I�ve never loved, never felt that way, well maybe...someday.

Old Bob, just turned sixty-one. He looks back at this life and says, "What have I done? A few little songs and scribbled, cryptic poems. I have a tune in my head and a lawyer on the phone..."

(descresendo)

He has a big file with words on pages,

He�s doing this thing in an awful lot of stages,

He�s writing inside a number of cages,

Standing on the shoulders of a history of sages.

I am just a solitary man. I live alone, the best I can.

I�ve never loved, never felt that way, well maybe...someday.
