The Day Of The Troubador
The Day of the Troubador
(Will Kimbrough/Jeff Finlin)

Nancy lit a candle Winked at me and said There aint no need for the big machine have some wine and water and bread And don’t let on that you know, son As you're walking out that door That it’s the day my friend
The day of the troubadour

Jesus left the platform After years of town to town
Little miracles little miracles From the seat of an old greyhound Now as the spotlight fades He dreams of them begging for more,But at the end of the day in this cheep hotel It’s still the day Of the troubadour

Keep it right on rolling This lonliness is bound In an ordinary blindness You can see it all around Binds your feet there to the ground This action is the road
It’s the only way I know To lighten up my load

When's the next train running Time's the weight on your brow The method is the madness The future big as now But don’t let on that you know my son just fluff up your pompador tomorow's giving today away
The day of the troubadour
