This is a far superior "updated" version of that lousy scratch i'd uploaded last week. Recorded with a little hand-held device today, while sitting on the end of my bed, i imported it into GOLDWAVE & tweaked the sound a little. The tune naturally still needs a little more production though.
In my head i can clearly hear Leonard singing on the refrain "HALELUJAH". Know what i'm talking about ???
Dear Leonard
https://app.box.com/s/2gt09dhszwjqo3s2er2w
Dear Leonard, where are you tonight
has the bottle got you down on your knees again ???
lying in a loving embrace, sweet Sister Of Mercy
that old jew harp laying it down songs of LOVE & HATE
Dear Leonard, how are you tonight ???
thought i'd call you up, heard you were pining for a Hank Williams song
well now looky yonder ma, here come the BUCK SKIN BOYS, they're riding again
ain't it funny how some people feel like everyone's friend
rolling down the LOST HIGHWAY nirvana bound
BRIDGE:
Was a rumour going round you'd maybe BEAT yourself a path way cross INDIA
hermit high in the clouds & the cliffs, just hanging around
a DHARMA BUM retreat from the slums & the streets of the city world
inner-seeking hidden lotus pearl, singing glory, HALELUJAH
Dear Leonard, how are things tonight ???
did you finally manage to find that ol' one secret chord
listen to the wind, people all ring them bells
you've come a long way from the CHELSEA HOTEL
between a priest & a poet, ladies man, real beautiful loser
Break / BRIDGE / REPEAT 1st verse ...
EXEUNT:
wherever it is man i hope that you're doing ok
when we'll all meet again in the FUTURE, everything will be great
Bodhisattva blues, laying em' low at the doors of Heaven's Gate
