Bleeding Albatross  copyright@2006nourishment for your soul music
Lyric by John Bernstein Music and Performance by Michael La Dragon


Escape into the music of the harmonica man
Who grew up curious and idolized Buddy Holly's Band
Whose mother adored him, as a child, wrote her a poem
How his heart would remain with her, she'd never be alone

The Man from Hibbing , so sad and alone
Breathless, he shuffles, never smiles except when he sings his song
Carrying the burden of loneliness, like a badge of faith, gone wrong
Traveling to the next town, with the sound, of moist guitars

The mountains are high, like a nearsighted sparrow in flight
The snow is wet like a kiss in the mysterious night
Timeless voices, sing faithful, fables from rambling, ancient, books
His voice nourishes my soul with a bold unpredictable hook(Bridge )

The man from Hibbing , so sad and alone
Breathless, he stumbles, never smiles except when he sings his song
Carrying the burden of loneliness, like a badge of faith gone wrong
Traveling to the next town alone, with the sound, of moist guitars

Escape into the music of the harmonica man
Who grew up curious and idolized Buddy Holly's band
Whose father loved him but never knew what to say
A bleeding albatross, his eldest son carries to the present day

The Man From Hibbing, So Sad and Alone
Breathless, he shuffles, never smiles, except when singing his song
Carrying the burden of loneliness, like a badge of faith gone wrong
Traveling to the next town, seeking the sound, of his dreams, in schemes, silent like tonight
