[00:30.37]You can say the soul is gone
[00:35.76]And the feeling is just not there
[00:41.66]Not like it was so long ago
[00:51.71]On the empty page before you
[00:57.21]You can fill in what you care
[01:03.76]Try to make it new before you go
[01:13.30]Take the simple case of the serge
[01:19.39]Who wouldn't go back to war'
[01:24.70]Cause the hippies tore down everything that he was fighting for
[01:36.16]Or the lovers on the blankets
[01:42.77]That the city turned to whores
[01:48.36]With memories of green kissed by the sun.
[01:59.76]You can say the soul is gone
[02:05.10]And close another door
[02:10.69]Just be sure that yours is not the one
[02:26.16]And I'm singing for the stringman
[02:31.96]Who lately lost his wife
[02:37.41]There is no dearer friend of mine
[02:42.64]That I know in this life
[02:47.64]On his shoulder rests a violin
[02:53.23]For his head where chaos reigns
[02:58.78]But his heart can't find a simple way
[03:04.42]To live with all those things
[03:12.04]All those things
[03:17.88]He's a stringman
[03:23.73]A stringman
[03:28.67]All those strings to pull
