For Skipper

This one's for Skipper
 Misty mountain minstrel making music where the wind may blow
 Watch the river flow
 I have lived a lifetime lingering upon your lonely song
 Let it linger on
 Like a mystery, you bring to me a song
 I leave it on my doorstep all night long
 How long until this song will fill my soul?
 Now the winter comes, the storm, it runs its way and then it's lost
 Like an early frost
 And all my dreams, they run, it seems they come and go
 And I feel so double-crossed half the time
 Like a mystery, it seems to me you flow
 To leave me on my doorstep all alone
 How long until this song will bring you home?
 Singing la din da din da din da din da din da da da
 La din da da da
 Ooh, la din da din da din da din da din da da da
 La din da da da
 Like a mystery that brings to me a song
 And leaves me where there's nothing left to play
 How long until this song will fade away?
