Lyrics
The Minister
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.
Played too hard and he died too young
To be certain of earning his love
He won a place in history
And his name will live eternally
Lived the life of a movie star
And he waved to the people from a big black car
Down in a book with the greatest names
As a lonely maid cried take pain
Tell me a story minister
There ain't no time left to lose
Ten man tried in the dead of night
The great man's final words to right
In a room that was soft and red
The great man spoke outside my head
Tell me a story minister
There ain't no time left to lose
