Schwa Lyrics

Music Man

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

He was a boy, born under the sun
Everything was promising and beautiful, his life had just begun
And the boy learned the art of song
Musical emotion all encompassing the life that moved along

One in the spotlight, but nobody came to the show
No magic potion could fight off a feeling so low

Longing to lead by the songs of his word
Lost in creation that nobody heard
Feeling as though life was sadly absurd

Just like the sound of a clown, with a frown, falling down on the ground

He was a boy, born under the sun
Everything was promising and beautiful, his life had just begun
And the boy grew into a man
Reaching out for anything or anyone to help him understand

A one room existence, feeling the walls caving in
Heart weighing heavy, hope had begun to grow thin

Living within his own life of illusion
Keeping himself in a state of confusion
Can you envision your life with his shoes on

Just like the sound of a clown, with a frown, falling down on the ground

He was a boy, born under the sun
Everything was promising and beautiful, his life had just begun
And the boy lived to age of old
Living in seclusion with his music and the stories that he told

Gray haired and grizzled, not much was left of his mind
Cruel was the world he soon would be leaving behind

Who would have thought that a life would go bad
With all of the talent that the music man had
How can a happy song make you feel sad

Just like the sound of a clown, with a frown, falling down on the ground
(With a teardrop in his eye, falling, falling, falling
Slowly falling to the ground, never realized his final calling)
