Lyrics

[00:15.300] Tom's at the piano talkin' to a ghost
[00:19.190] Playin' with his eyes shut tight
[00:23.000] Here's a little song I learnt it from the wind
[00:26.820] I heard it on the wind last night
[00:45.400] Beats workin' in the field for a little blind boy
[00:49.480] Playin' in the dime museum
[00:53.110] Day the colonel came and he take ya by the hand
[00:56.980] What a lucky day for him
[01:15.790] When Tom is at the bench his hands are not his own
[01:19.740] Some spirit in the room takes hold
[01:23.610] Never seen the sun much less read a note
[01:27.170] But he makes ya wanna tap your toes
[01:46.570] Make your daddy proud oh make your daddy rich
[01:50.260] Some candy and cake for Tom
[01:53.570] Till the crowd dies down and the colonel's in the grave
[01:57.760] And the candy and the cake are gone
[02:01.820] Tom's at the piano talkin' to a ghost
[02:05.480] Playin' with his eyes shut tight
[02:09.480] Here's a little song I learnt it from the wind
[02:13.410] I heard it on the wind last night
