The Listener

For Wolfgang, from Paul

I am a weary traveler on the road, and I'm far away from home
And I'm feeling like I’ve lived a thousand years, mostly on my own

But I can see a light in the distance burning bright
And I know I've found a place where I belong
You paid your dues and loved the blues forever
Yes, you’ve heard it all before
But still you find a space inside your heart, to open up the door

But I can see a light in the distance burning bright
And I know I've found a place where I belong

I don’t know if you know what its like to have somebody love a song
Who knows the words and always sings along
You couldn’t love the music any deeper and my tanks go out tonight
To you, my friends, the Listeners

The posters on the wall, tell me everything I'd need to know
The miles and miles you traveled near and far
To catch a Mary/one-man show
But I can see a light in the distance burning bright
And I know I've found a place where I belong
