Lightfoot

Sidemen come out first
 John Stockfish base guitar
 Looks at the world through the eyes of Nashville,
 The Riverboat and Charlie McCoy
 He's just a boy
 The lead guitarist Red Shea who's really come a long, long way
 since rythym rocker jingle jangle
 And go Red!
 And Lightfoot
 Edwardian, suddenly striped
 His hair blondish and poetic
 He is less than vinyl perfect
 His foot is a precise anchor for the husk and vibrance of his voice
 He is the image of Alberta
 The side street near Chicago
 The grim beauty of Toronto
 He is an artist
 He is an artist
 He is an artist painting sistine masterpieces of pine and fur and backwoods
 Still echos long ago the winter night of black july and then the outcome
 Of an early cleveland rainfall
 I sit softly among the rest waiting there for him to paint his pictures
 And as the go-go girl went round and our heads were in a spin I thought about
 The Crossroads, In the Early Morning Rain and Rosanna
 I'm not saying that I'm sory
 I'm just telling you this story
 And when Lightfoot's magic calls
 You can write it on your walls
 'Cause that's what walls are for
 He is an artist.
