lirik lagu theo kandel - leroy's song
they’re shipping leroy off to war
and don’t know what he’s fighting for
and it might be six months before
he gets back to chicago
the 16th corridor
leroy, he gets married green
to a lovely girl they call moreyn
he’s 21 and she’s 18
and he loves her with his whole heart
an empty pocket full of dreams
there ain’t no hero’s victory
this ain’t that kind of song
it’s the kind that don’t come easy
but you keep on keeping on
there’s a light on the horizon
there’s a full moon, and it’s rising
there’s new music to be heard
he says
“there ain’t no point romanticising
set the bar low, no surprises
you just gotta wait your turn
oh, it’s something that you learn
it’s a slow, slow burn”
leroy’s headed off to work
in a clean white apr~n and a fresh~pressed shirt
his fingers numb with blood and dirt
he’ll miss his children’s birthdays
but family comes first
there’s a light on the horizon
there’s a full moon, and it’s rising
won’t you come back home from work
he says
“there ain’t no point romanticising
set the bar low, no surprises
you just gotta wait your turn
oh, it’s something that you learn
it’s a slow, slow burn”
leroy, he’s a~getting old
the nights are long, the winters cold
and moreyn’s got another growth
and they don’t know how much longer
that’s just the way it goes
there ain’t no quick recovery
this ain’t that kinda song
it’s a simple life of love and family
and waking up at dawn
and it’s digging roots and staying put
and keeping up your lawn
it’s the kind that don’t come easy
but you keep on keeping on
there’s a light on the horizon
there’s a tunnel, and he’s smiling
there’s a quiet in the world
he says
“hey pal, you gotta fill the silence
no man is his own island
you’ve got music to be heard
oh, it’s something that you’ll learn
it’s a slow, slow burn
it’s a slow, slow burn”
