The Cautionary Tale of Richard Manuel

from Wildwood Road by Marc Delgado

/

lyrics

There was a time & a place
I felt the wheel & it's grace
King Harvest sang in the field.
So we drank to what we made
Then the season changed
Soon I felt the long & the slow decay.
Why must I be the thief?
Why must you see my grief?
I can't explain what comes over me.
Then I was crushed by the weight
I hung it all up & I waved
Goodbye to the crowds & the hands from the stage.
A whispering sound I received
though the pines & the trees
In a motel dream I swam from the beach to the sea.
Why must I be the thief?
Why must you see my grief?
Tears of rage roll down my cheeks
I can't explain what comes over me.
Home so far away
Home so far away
Home so far away
Why must I be the thief?
Why must you see my grief?
Tears of rage roll down my cheeks
I can't explain what comes over me.
