Legend In Your Own Time — текст песни (Carly Simon)

Well I have know you
Since you were a small boy
And your mama used to say
My boy is gonna grow up and be
Some kind of leader some day.

Then you`d turn on the radio
And sing with the singer in the band
And your mama would say to you
This isn`t exactly what she had planned.

But you`re a legend in your own time
A hero in the footlights
Playin` tunes to fit your rhyme
But a legends only a lonely boy
When he goes home alone.

And although I know you
Still have the heart of that small boy
Well, you lend it out far too much
And no one woman loving you
Can ever tell if you`ve been really touched.

Then you turn on the radio
And sing with the singer in the band
And think kind of sadly to yourself
This isn`t exactly what you had planned.

But you`re a legend in your own time
A hero in the footlights
Playin` tunes to fit your rhyme
But a legends only a lonely boy
When he goes home alone.
