Well, you covered your tracks |
[00:15.556] |
And now I can't see you |
[00:16.914] |
You had your ashes scattered at sea |
[00:20.023] |
There's no grave to visit, no tombstone to look at |
[00:23.393] |
You were in the New York Times obituary |
[00:26.919] |
There's no record, no tape, no book, no movie |
[00:30.420] |
Some photographs and some memories |
[00:33.815] |
Sometimes I dial your phone number by mistake |
[00:37.237] |
And this is what I hear: |
[00:40.738] |
This is no longer a working number, baby |
[00:44.160] |
Please redial your call |
[00:47.504] |
This is no longer a working number |
[00:50.769] |
Your party doesn't live here anymore |
[00:54.295] |
This is no longer a working number |
[00:57.535] |
If you still require help |
[01:00.983] |
Stay on the line, and an operator |
[01:04.222] |
Will try to bail you out |
[01:06.338] |

I knew I should have seen you that Thursday |
[01:24.571] |
I knew I shouldn't have left |
[01:27.758] |
But you sounded so good, your spirits so up |
[01:31.311] |
I thought I'd see you next week |
[01:34.759] |
I say over and over if I had half a brain |
[01:37.972] |
If I had half a brain in my head |
[01:41.394] |
I wouldn't sit here, dialing a wrong number |
[01:44.816] |
And listening to what some recording said |
[01:48.343] |
This is no longer a working number |
[01:51.765] |
Please redial your call |
[01:55.082] |
This is no longer a working number |
[01:58.034] |
Your party doesn't live here anymore |
[02:01.848] |
This is no longer a working number |
[02:05.584] |
But if you still require help |
[02:08.640] |
Stay on the line, and an operator |
[02:12.010] |
Will try to bail you out |
[02:14.491] |

I knew I should have written, written things down |
[02:18.384] |
I always say I'll never forget |
[02:22.145] |
Who can forget a one-eyed pilot? |
[02:25.228] |
Who's a concert pianist? |
[02:28.780] |
A painter, a poet, songwriter supreme |
[02:32.072] |
My friends are blending in my head |
[02:35.546] |
They're melting into one great spirit |
[02:38.785] |
And that spirit isn't dead |
[02:42.338] |
Now, I may not remember everything that you said |
[02:45.342] |
But I remember all the sings you've done |
[02:48.999] |
And not a day goes by, not an hour |
[02:52.369] |
When I don't try to be like you |
[02:55.686] |
You were gassed, stoked, and rarin' to go |
[02:58.926] |
And you were that way all the time |
[03:02.348] |
So I guess you know why I'm laughing at myselves |
[03:05.770] |
Every time I dial the wrong line |
[03:09.479] |
This is no longer a working number, baby |
[03:16.323] |
This is no longer a working number |
[03:23.298] |
