The Song is Still Here

You always aimed for the top of the game, that's where you ended up

You owed a lot to the work you did, you owed a little more to luck

Didn't want to be no one-hit wonder

Lightning strikes quick, you can hear the thunder

For miles and miles, echoes across the years

The fire is gone but the spark is still here



Hey man, I could a friend, I'm thinking you could hook me up

I'm having trouble with the band I'm in, having trouble with love

I had an endless summer, but now it's autumn

My cup was running over, now it's got a crack in the bottom

It drips down like tears

The well's gone dry but the thirst is still here



I don't blame you for doing good, I don't hate you much

You didn't knock anybody down, you just had the touch

So what the hell, I wish you well

Hard candy, soft sell, that's the way of the world

Don't wanna be no small-town crier

Devil loves a dreamer, but God loves a trier



I'm trying to make it clear

Well the crowd's gone home but the song is still here

The show is over but the song is still here

The music's stopped but the song is still here
