Schwa Lyrics

Another Good Man Gone

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz
Reluctant hero of the family
His life played out like a tragedy
A music man was all he claimed to be

A flash of brilliance like a shooting star
Etched in your mind for as long as you are
Give him five minutes you can feel the music in his heart

Bringing joy to everyone
Taking pride in the work that he'd done
But I never really thought that he'd be gone 
I was hopin' there'd be just one more song
Another man, another good man gone
Another man, another good man gone

Singing melodies that warm my cold.
Never fittin' in to a typical mold.
Takin' me back to the days of old.

Telling tales of life and places he'd been 
A prophet of sorts to his following kin
Visit him once and you knew you'd be back, over and over and over and over again

You know we had a lot of fun
All in all it was a hell of a run
But I never really thought that he'd be gone
I was hopin' there'd be just one more song
Another man, another good man gone
Another man, another good man gone

Remember how we laughed and how we cried
Fifty three years till his heart grew tired
But he left his mark just like a branding iron

Sometimes still I hear the music play
A warm wind blowin' all the clouds away
Lettin' the sun shine bright in the sky on a cold dark winter day

No one stays forever young
Nothing's for sure but the rising of the sun
But I never really thought that he'd be gone
I was hopin' there'd be just one more song
Another man, another good man gone
Another man, another good man gone
