The musical mind never rests Not even for a second breath The musical mind never sleeps Not even for a chance to eat The genius ones are always shunned Disrespected until they're gone But the time does come when their legend lives on and we've celebrated every song You were the one who said it couldn't be done but now you're the one doing it With your acidic pen uneven staves and your parched paper All the doubting minds that you despise will come crawling back to you An orchestration of life so long-forgotten People can't remember how to imagine A gracefully played note is all one needs to be remote Letras de cancionesfrom uncontrolled reality And can you really care? A society so inclined to never fully bare noticeable differences from the norm Life has taken every turn Some people will never truly learn how you affected them Your sights, your sounds Such pleasure is rarely found But you made it clear to all who dare that their reward is your encore Since you've passed on scores of listeners have found what you've bestowed to all Those people who fought you and never bought you turned out to be wrong Something echoes The sound of years reaching a new generation of ears will finally come to be endeared by all who seek that which is good I've heard you down in Tin Pan Alley...
