He Had Some Songs

from Children Live the Fear by Bill White

/

lyrics

his fingers were too small for the guitar
but he knew what to do with a tune
he spent his days in coffee bars
and his nights singing in saloons
never could hang on to a day job
but he had some songs

through his life he kept a low profile
he never wanted to be big
the mountains around him were ripped with gold
but he never knew where to dig
the road he travelled was not long
but he had some songs

he had the music and the words
like nothing i ever heard
never had much in worldly goods
but he had some songs

he died of an unknown illness
that was never diagnosed
when his daughter cleaned out his apartment
she found nothing, not even a ghost
but somewhere in that room lies the dust of a broken swan
he had some songs
