Description
Legacy is a song that I wrote following the passing of 3 close friends and fellow musicians. It's about looking at life from where I stand now.
Lyrics
LEGACY TURN MY BACK AGAINST THE WALL, THIS STREET IS SO LONELY AND COLD. THINKING BACK ON THE YEARS GONE BY, IT'S NO WONDER I FEEL SO OLD. TOO MANY FRIENDS HAVE GONE AWAY, DIED BEFORE THEIR TIME SHOULD HAVE COME. YET HERE I STAND, JUST AN OLD MUSIC MAN, PLAYING MEMORIES FROM WHEN I WAS YOUNG WITH NO REGRETS FROM THE DAYS GONE BY, MY CHILDREN ALL MAKE ME SO PROUD, BUT STILL I SEARCH FOR SOMETHING MORE, A PRETTY FACE SOMEWHERE IN THE CROWD. SO I’LL PLAY ON TILL MY TIME IS DONE, AND TRY TO LEAVE SOME MUSIC BEHIND. TOUCH SOMEONE WITH A SONG OR TWO, A LEGACY SWEETER THAN WINE. SOME SONGS WE PLAYED WERE HEARD AROUND THE WORLD, WE NEVER DREAMED THAT COULD HAVE BEEN. IT’S NICE TO KNOW THAT THEY’LL PLAY ON STILL, LONG AFTER WE'RE JUST DUST ON THE WIND. LEAD I TURN TO FACE A SOUTHERN BREEZE, THIS STREET IS NOT AS LONELY AND COLD. THINKING BACK ON ALL THE FUN WE HAD, THOSE MEMORIES WILL NEVER GROW OLD
