Song For Richard Collopy - Sun Kil Moon
He worked from morning to ten at night sometimes three am
Fixing guitars for a living honing and polishing frets
Setting the intonation and set the action good
Carving saddles from ox bone bridges from Brazilian wood
He fixed my old Gibson L double O
He reset the neck used a patch of bondo
Near the sound-hole where the wood wore away
From many years of age and hard play
Sometime he'd leave without warning and just close up shop
No sign no message no call no nothing he just stopped
Coming to work and picking up the telephone
I left more than a few messages for him after the tone
All summer he wouldn't return my calls
Hey Richard I'd like my guitar back by fall
Got a record to make and a promise to bring
A tour in England a smile to feigng
September or maybe October he called and said it was done
I got in the taxi and got my guitar and man that thing sung
Like a choir of angels and the neck it felt great
And that was the last time i saw him late 2008
Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why
Did you have to go off with the birds in the sky
You were the best guitar guy out west
I cherish your work and wish you good rest
Why Richard Collopy Why Why
Did you have to lie down and close your eyes
Close down your shop and not say goodbye
I'll own this guitar for the rest of my life
I'll play this guitar for the rest of my life
Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why
Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why
