For Skipper

This one's for Skipper

Misty mountain minstrel making music where the wind may blow

Watch the river flow

I have lived a lifetime lingering upon your lonely song

Let it linger on

Like a mystery, you bring to me a song

I leave it on my doorstep all night long

How long until this song will fill my soul?

Now the winter comes, the storm, it runs its way and then it's lost

Like an early frost

And all my dreams, they run, it seems they come and go

And I feel so double-crossed half the time

Like a mystery, it seems to me you flow

To leave me on my doorstep all alone

How long until this song will bring you home?

Singing la din da din da din da din da din da da da

La din da da da

Ooh, la din da din da din da din da din da da da

La din da da da

Like a mystery that brings to me a song

And leaves me where there's nothing left to play

How long until this song will fade away?
