Phil Ochs - Legends Lyrics
The first time that I called you in that old new york hotelIt was halloween all over with that trick you played so wellI woke you up from dreaming singing songs of yesterdayWe took a drive to newport to hear st. peter playChorus:Dust on you mouth, legends on your mindHanging out with bogart in some bygone place and timeSing me your sweet changes when Im feeling down and blueAnd Ill treasure precious hours that I stole away with youOh the muggy nights in soho, I had so much to learnYou gave me wings to fly away and asked for no returnLon chaneys ghost beside you wore the face of mickey finnAnd I never once suspected that you and he were friendsThe last that I saw you you werent really even thereI cried when I heard you come across out on the airYou bid your last farewell just like your first helloAnd Ill always think about you when I pass through ohio
