Ballad Of A Poet

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

He came on like a mountaineer

Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers

And there was, something different in the air

Something magical, the crowd was unprepared

And he was long and lean he held that stage

And jenny looked at me with reverence on her face

And she said we left our bodies there that night

Cause the music shook our souls and saved our lives

Tonight we radiate

The lines have been erased

And I can't leave this place, leave this place, leave this place

This ain't new york or berlin

It's just a small town bringdown, kind of happening

Conviction etched upon his face

Cloaked in demin head to toe

He traded words like souvenirs in stereo

Something different about this night

Cause it was happening right before our eyes

Tonight we radiate

The lines have been erased

And I can't leave this place, leave this place, leave this place

Tonight we radiate, tonight we radiate

Tonight we radiate

The lines have been erased

And I can't leave this, I can't leave this place

Tonight we radiate

The lines have been replaced

And I can't leave this, I can't leave this place

He came on like a mountaineer

Exploring beauty through the syllables and cheers

And there was, something different in the air

Something magical, the crowd was unprepared
