Tribute from 13 by 4th Order

Long tall denim man.
Live your life as fast as you can.
Old age is a cross you shall not bear.
Death comes up in the passing lane.
Your work undone you die in vain.
The world moves on forgets you and your pain.


Bitter is the taste of loneliness and waste.
Gone but not erased. I still see your face.
I know you’re not to blame.
They put out your flame.
So I forgive you and give you tribute.


Long haired music man.
We spread your ashes from a golden can.
The lover's kiss you miss won't save you now.
The light you bring is growing dim.
It lingers in the tones you sing.
The world moves on in time
it won't mean a thing.


Gone but not erased. I still see your face.
Not bitter we replace
the void that was your place.
With love and faith and grace.
