In Honor of You (George)

How can I go on when every thought hurts?

I flirt with the notion of no more songs

My old familiar foe, self pity haunts meIm stuck in some over-the-mountain town

In a meaningless bar where fat hands round the Steiners

And no one cares if it suns or pours, in an hour between trains

Barney puts the record on and the aimless rise to danceEmbrace me, my sweet embraceable you

I see you, George, in your apartment on Riverside Drive

Some fifty years ago, your fingers on the keys

Looking for the song, looking for that hookEmbrace me, you irreplaceable youWho were you then? Did you have a woman?

Were you hard up for cash?

Did you ever know youd be heard in the middle distance

In some over-the-mountain town?Connecting to the muscles of the dancers

In this close and smoky room

Who were you then? Were you sure of your tune?

Or were your dreams and your courage all broken down like mine?Now theres something that clutches the heart

A melody that stays year after year

I love all the many charms about you

Above all I want my arms around youIm already late for my train

But I dont think about that, I think of you, George

At your piano, sweating in the summer heatBy the way, did you get your girl

Did you by your house in the country?

Did you wait for something that never came?

Did you die still waiting for your train?Dont be a naughty baby, come to mama

Come to mama doSome part of your heart twists and turns in mine

Your soul rises, theres an angel in charge

Theres one note that weeps the truth

And makes my life mean something just for the length ofEmbrace me, my sweet embraceable you

Embrace me, you irreplaceable you

Dont be a naughty baby, come to mama

Come to mama doI will go home, I will try again

I will catch the train, catch another breath

Move back to the piano and let the notes do what theyll do

In honor of you, George, in honor of you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
