lyrics

No No No don’t turn that dial
You’re all in for a big surprise
Never gonna believe who’ve we’ve got here
No idea he was still alive

I thought he was dead
But he sang storm on the ocean
Storm on the ocean
Moving his old way
It’s getting so you can’t afford to die
He sang storm on the ocean
Storm on the ocean
Moving his old way

There’s 95 or 96 dollars
Right here in an envelope for you
Don’t be putting that overcoat on
We want another number
We want another song

I thought he was dead….

Find him sitting by the back door
Listening to the radio
Long strides down the railroad tracks
Never on the road

He’d give anything
He gave away everything
He might wait till you offered to pay
Then he’d just give it away
I thought he was dead…
