[00:31.83]You can say the soul is gone
[00:36.78]And the feeling is just not there
[00:42.44]Not like it was so long ago
[00:52.17]On the empty page before you
[00:57.16]You can fill in what you care
[01:03.36]Try to make it new before you go
[01:13.07]Take the simple case of the serge
[01:19.12]Who can't go back to war
[01:23.72]Because the hippies tore down
[01:26.43]Everything that he was fighting for
[01:34.89]Or the lovers on the blankets
[01:40.63]That the city turned to whores
[01:46.75]With memories of green kissed by the sun
[01:57.98]You can say the soul is gone
[02:03.63]And close another door
[02:08.97]Just be sure that yours is not the one
[02:23.99]And I'm singing for the stringman
[02:30.12]Who lately lost his wife
[02:35.62]There is no dearer friend of mine
[02:41.11]That I know in this life
[02:45.91]On his shoulder rests a violin
[02:51.30]For his head where chaos reign
[02:56.84]But his heart can't find a simple way
[03:02.48]To live with all these things
[03:09.99]All these things
[03:15.62]All these things to pull
[03:27.02]He's a stringman
[03:32.52]A stringman
