TONY WESTCOTT NOT THERE LYRICS

 
Not There

Intro - 4 bars

Young man, cradle to the grave,
Just wanted to number the brave
Fell blind, for the official line
Ink fades on the page
Fallen leaves mark the glade
Far off place, hard to trace

Many fathers son, still not there
Many mothers love, still not there

Footfalls on the path
Overcoat hanging as before
Shoes scattered across the floor
Picture on the mantle, young mans smile
When will he retrace those miles
When will they be sure

Many fathers son, still not there
Many mothers love, still not there

Solo - F x 4 (8 bars)

Light shines bright, through the long dark night
House feels cold, waits for them to get old
Why did they go, what did it show
Why did they go, what did it show

Many fathers dream, still not there
Many mothers fate, still not there
Many fathers son, still not there
Many mothers love, still not there
Still not there
Still not there
Still not there
Still not there
