GEORGE
(words and music by Robin Lake © 2005)

I sat alone in a dorm room
with your music as my company
I stared at your poster for hours
as I listened to your new L.P.

I heard your voice in the candlelight
a plaintive voice drifting through the air
I breathed in the words
and the music wrapped around me
reaching everywhere.
See your sweet lord
Be with your lord.

It felt far away from my childhood
From the young you
with your crooked grin.
When I screamed for you and the others
in the movies, in the stadium.

It felt far away from your little dance
on the TV, always in black and white
when I wanted to hear your secret
meant for me alone in the frozen night.

See your sweet lord
Be with your lord.

I watched your face in the candlelight
on a poster that was on my wall.
