As only a poet can
He took the stories of his people
and gave them back in rhyme
He put pleasure in our hearts
and he touched them everytime
He said he could never quit
his music was his home
But there was always one more stage
always one more song
His candle was burning at both ends
It was burning in the middle
And he always enjoyed singing
With his guitar and the fiddle
A beautiful tune, a heartfelt song,
You know his words were true
Smiles lit our eyes
And he done it all for you
But the road finally claimed him
a flyer lost at sea
Setting flight on the horizon
that would not let him be
Following a star
that drew him like a flame
And 'though we loved him so well
our lives will never be the same
His candle was burning at both ends
It was burning in the middle
And he always enjoyed singing
With his guitar and the fiddle
A beautiful tune, a heartfelt song
You know his words were true
Smiles lit our eyes
And he done it all for you
