Leon — текст песни (Roger Daltrey)

(Goodhand-Tait)

Leon came along
To see me on the road
He took the time to come backstage
And make himself known
And although we`d never been real close
As friends we`d shared some times
Worked the clubs once traveled music
Together for a while

Leon you`ve been away too long
The world ain`t still the way it used to be
Leon you`ve been away too long
To turn your back now on your family

Tomorrow I`ll be in Amsterdam
He smiled and shook my hand
Wished me all success
And I said try to understand
But I envy you he said
And I tried to share his loss
Told him how the road was still as
Tough as it was

Leon you`re been away too long
The world ain`t still the way it used to be
Leon you`ve been away too long
To turn your back now on your family

My plane flew into Amsterdam
And lying in my room
I heard the news how Leon died
That very afternoon
I telephoned my flowers
With some words I hoped were kind
With our backstage conversation
Still burning in my mind

Leon you`ve been away too long
The world ain`t still the way it used to be
Leon you`ve been away too long
To turn your back now on your family...
