Complicated O
On the day John Lennon died, when Paul McCartney was asked for a comment he said, “It’s a drag”.
The last song on Josh Clayton Felt‘s last album Spirit Touches Ground is called “Dragon Fly”.
I wrote this song for Josh and don’t think I will ever play it again.
Lyrics
COMPLICATED O
It’s a complicated obituary
that you’re gonna get from me tonight
but how can anybody sum it up
in a poem or a page
and my poor eulogy is so corrupt
How can I camouflage it with this
Complicated O
It’s a complicated obituary
that you shall get from me my friend
For when we were both inside the dream
we could read each other’s minds
but now we’ve spent a half a life between
bunkered behind Venetian blinds
Ain’t it
Complicated O
It’s a drag
It’s a drag
It’s a drag
It’s a drag
It’s a drag
Ooo-Oh
It’s complicated now
So many twists and turns
Bridges built and burned
and the tendency’s to be cliche’
Ain’t it complicated oh…
It’s a complicated obituary
that I submit that you deserve
for there are no angels on this earth
but there are those who try
and I shall cry and celebrate your birth
and I shall mourn the day you died
and curse the things we kept inside
but first I’ll face that final drag and fly
back home
