Lyrics
THE LAST TROUBADOUR (REMEMBERING GAMBLE ROGERS)
COPYRIGHT 2005 LARRY MANGUM
CHORUS
YES I?M AMONG THE LUCKY ONES, WHO LIVED TO CALL HIM FRIEND
THIS STORY OF A TRAVELER IS A TALE WITHOUT AN END
A LIFE OF LOVE AND MUSIC
NO ONE COULD ASK FOR MORE- YES I KNEW THE LAST TROUBADOUR
IN THE OLD CITY, YES I KNEW THE LAST TROUBADOUR
VERSE 1
IF FINGER PICKS WERE KNIFE BLADES AND GUITAR STRINGS MADE OF WOOD
HE WOULD CARVE A WORK OF ART AS ONLY GAMBLE COULD
AND IF FANTASTIC STORIES OPEN HEAVENS DOORS
THEY WERE FLYING OPEN WHEN HE PLAYED HIS LAST ENCORE
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
LIKE A SHUTTLE IN AN ORBIT ?ROUND A WORLD THAT HE DESIGNED
HE WOULD FLY JUST CLOSE ENOUGH TO SPIN HIS YARNS AND RHYMES
THEN HE?D HEAD OUT TO THE NEXT TOWN,
WHERE THEY THOUGHT HE WAS THEIR OWN
BUT WE ALL KNEW THE TROUBADOUR
WOULD SOON BE COMING HOME
NOW WHO HAS LIVED THE KIND OF LIFE THAT THEY WOULD CHOOSE AGAIN
WHO IS THERE AMONG US THAT COULD COUNT MORE FRIENDS
AND WHO HAS LEFT A LEGACY THAT WILL NEVER END
NO ONE BUT THE LAST TROUBADOUR
