Guest of Honor

from Song​-​A​-​Day by Bill White

/

lyrics

you can play it gentle
or with stampeding force
no matter how good the actor
its hard to play a horse
strike a pose
wear a mask
you only live
as long as it lasts

learn your lines
and cast your poles
the fish are too scarce
to fill your bowls
for the run of the play
or the flight of the hawk
if the door is locked
dont bother to knock

one final toast
then it's over
for the guest of honor

he was our captain
now we are his host
somebody drive him home

give him a flask of whiskey
see him home safely
as the tight spaces close in on him now
