Sheldon Songtext
von Larry Weiss

Do you remember ′65?
Full of hustle and full of jive
Selling copy paper door to door
You never knew that you could write
So I pulled your coat and shined a light
And we wrote songs and left 'em on the floor

But soon your head was in the clouds
And your voice got way too loud

Sheldon, it′s so hard to live and learn
When the ashes seem to burn an eternity
Sheldon, you will always be a saint
And the pictures that you paint are a part of me

So we went our separate ways
And people said we both were crazed
Forever changing horses in midstream
And pretty soon I found myself
And you gave your words to someone else
Now the years have clouded up the dream


And the wheel has turned around
And the joker wears a frown

Sheldon, it's so hard to live and learn
When the ashes seem to burn an eternity
Sheldon, you will always be a saint
And the pictures that you paint are a part of me

So here we are in '73
Look at you and look at me
Feeling out each other once again
Perhaps we′ve grown with passing years
And learned to rise above our fears
And reach out for each other truly friends

And I′ll make the music play
And you'll find the words to say

Sheldon, it′s so hard to live and learn
When the ashes seem to burn an eternity
Sheldon, you will always be a saint
And the pictures that you paint are a part of me

Sheldon, it's so hard to live and learn
When the ashes seem to burn an eternity
Sheldon, you will always be a saint
