***Life is not a Van Morrison song***
Wave Goodbye To The Troubadour
Standing on the threshold
Of a hope that felt like home
Sliding like young lovers do
Into the bright unknown
A heart that once believed in you
How did it turn to stone
Wave goodbye to the troubadour
He's left the stage with no encore
He sold you a sweet memory
Was it worth the price you paid
Now he's packing up his melodies
Along with all your might have beens
Leaving you with broken dreams
And nothing left to say
So wave goodbye to the troubadour
There's none so wise as the troubadour
But don't ask why of the troubadour
He's not giving it away
Life is not a moondance
Love is not a song
It's not a mystic avenue
It's a road that's hard and long
You thought that dreaming made it true
Seems like you were wrong
Wave goodbye to the troubadour
He's left the stage with no encore
He sold you a sweet memory
Was it worth the price you paid
Now he's packing up his melodies
Along with all your might have beens
Leaving you with broken dreams
And nothing left to say
Wave goodbye to the troubadour
Don't you cry for the troubadour
Dry your eyes for the troubadour
He may be back some day

2006-08-15 No doubt Jim and Rich can make a set of lyrics come away sounding like only the BoReevas Shed music does, The Lady Bee sure can spin a great story from the sweetness that is in her, Really enjoyed my listen. Jimmy Lee

2006-08-15 I remember this one too. Excellent lyrics, Diane and I love to hear BoReevas performing this way. A kind of rawness yet innocence that's fresh and pleasure to listen to. Great tri-collab and perfect lyrical/musical blend. ~ John
