The Cautionary Tale of Richard Manuel (LIve)

from Live @ Pete's Candy Store by Marc Delgado

/

about

A little song about addiction & fate & grace &, perhaps, the existence of an unknown, all-powerful entity.

lyrics

There was a time & a place
I felt the wheel & it's grace
King Harvest sang in the fields
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 crowd & the hands from the stage
A whispering sound I received
Through 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
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.
