Like Some Holy Man (please click on title) by Gil Gillespie published on 2013-05-25T10:27:18Z My eternal thanks to https://soundcloud.com/qvarsebo-1 for the amazing drumming on this song. Well, I stepped off the Greyhound At noon; And the smell of the city, Eyes full of pity, loomed. Tho' the sun was high, It was dark as night. And he's holding out his hand, Dressed in rags, Like some holy man. I'm a long, long way From my home; A town in the desert, Deserted and broken down. Well' they closed up the mill, Now it's weeds they're growing. And he's holding out his hand, Dressed in rags, Like some holy man. Well now, aint we moving? Most of us losing, Trying and a fighting, fighting to survive. Hey now, aint we moving? Most of us losing, Tired of fighting, fighting for our lives. Well, I'd read some book; It's called 'The Road'.* And I'd looked out the window, Into the story told. I'd seen decaying hope, In a wind so cold. And he's holding out his hand, Dressed in rags, Like some holy man. *Cormac McCarthy - American author Genre Modern Ballad Comment by ICARUS, THE SUN BECKONS.. gil, they got greyhound in wales?? ;) don't forget the girlfriend in the backseat of the greyhound on your trip to memphis... i really enjoyed the simple guitar riffs that form a steady backbone for your songs... 2014-11-06T03:14:23Z Comment by John-Delk This is just one of those songs that everybody wishes they wrote or could write.
