Lyrics
A music man's life is lonely
Traveling from town to town
What keeps him goin' is only
The endless search for what he's never found
Perhaps he'll never find it
He may not even know what it is
But he can't stop looking for it
And he'll never settle for less
(You can hear him say)
Chorus:
I don't hear what you're saying
I don't understand what you mean
Why should I be staying?
I've so many things to see
Don't ask him to stay
For it will only make him leave
He lives from day to day
Trying to dream his dream
Singing his joy and his sorrow
And what he learns along the way
Never worrying about tomorrow
His music is for today
(And he'd say)
(Chorus)
