Lyrics for The Parades Still Passing By by Harry Chapin:
| | | Artist: | Harry Chapin |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | The Parades Still Passing By | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 99 | | | | Lyrics: | I got the news today
That you refused to play
Cause you never made number one
But it's
not just the words
It's the deeds that are heard
When all is said and done
Kings take
their crowns
They melt them all down
Trying to get the gold out
You went to hell
and
Even when you weren't selling
You never ever sold out.
You weren't no
leader
You were more like a bleeder
Who was trying to cry for us all
You weren't no
sage
But your sense of outrage
Sounded like a trumpet call
Fifteen years ago
In the
old folky show
You were just one voice in the crowd
But now with so few singing
Your
voice would have been ringing
Out 'bout twice as loud.
There but for
fortune
Say a small circle of friends
Some may see the changes
So few see the
ends
The pleasures of the harbor
Have come to you at last
You may not be marching
anymore
But the parade's still going past
I'm not taking the blame
That we
killed you
You know you did that to yourself
But it was kind of a shame
That you played
that game
Cause you were better than anyone else
One shot of your bottle
Got you full
throttle
It was the friend that was always there
But your greatest gift
And the curse
you lived with
Was that you could always care. | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
