Hospitality Street

I saw you growing old

I saw you fade away

I saw you keep the flame alive

I saw it every day

Handsome John sang his song,

‘Hello in there’ for you.

Who cares about the hurt and pain

when all you ever lived was truth?

We sang you songs and laid you down

one winter afternoon

Some sang together perfectly

some sang straight out of tune

(and) Handsome John sang his song,

‘Hello in there’ for you.

Who cares about the hurt and pain

when all you ever lived was truth?

I saw you growing old

I saw you fade away

I saw you keep the flame alive

I saw it every day

I still hear you when I sing,

songs are made of memories.

Softly singing harmony.

I remember holding you as you let go.

(and) Handsome John sang his song

‘Hello in there’ for you

Who cares about the hurt and pain

when all you ever lived was truth?

We sang you songs and laid you down

one winter afternoon

Some sang together perfectly

some sang straight out of tune
