Lenny

I knew a man from day’s gone by
Just yesterday to be precise
He sailed the world on his one man ship
Sunrise on his eyes whisky on his lips
He sang lullabies
Left me his guitar, left me here to cry
The sun set on his eyes
He tried to tell me but I didn’t want to listen

Lenny,
Where did you go, where have you been?
Lenny,
You got nothing to loose you got nothing to win

He sailed to China, he sailed to Japan
He sailed to Hunalulu and back again
A girl in every city every port and every clan
But of all of these girls Mama was his homeland

He sang lullabies
Left me his guitar, left me here to cry
The sun set on his eyes
He tried to tell me but I didn’t want to listen

Lenny,
Where did you go, where have you been?
Lenny,
You got nothing to loose you got nothing to win
