about

"Three letters and revealed now after decades, for those who haven't guessed by now, they were written to Dylan, Ochs, Morrison and anyone listening in." - Lach

lyrics

Dear Bob,
What am I doing here ? Playing the rule, playing the fool, when my piano lies broken in the road.

Dear Phil,
Why am I dying here? Bleeding out songs, blowing through bongs, when my keyboards lie shattered in the street?

Isn't anybody else scared? Isn't anybody else shivering?
Only songs are left in this cold city somewhere in America

Dear Jim,
Why am I awake again? Night is sweet, perfume of sleep and the dogs are howling in the alley.

Isn't anybody else out there scared? Isn't anybody else shivering ?
Only songs are left in this cold city somewhere in
America
And most of the songs are written for the money.
