Ballade of Banjo Rick

Who do you sing to Banjo Rick

tell me who
tell me who
tell me who

I've witnessed
your lone wolf cries

as you sat on the dock
at river's edge

feet
immersed in the water

soul
immersed in the song

oh who do you sing to
Banjo Rick

tell me who
tell me who
tell me who

I watched
as birds stopped their songs

I saw your face
tell the story

but again I ask

who do you sing to
Banjo Rick
as  you sweetly weave your words to music

are you calming a soul that was wounded
perhaps your own I think

shall I tell them
of the life you've led

of the abuse
you always craved

oh who do you sing to
Banjo Rick

tell me who
tell me who
tell me who

do you sing
for freedom of flashbacks

do you sing
for the return of your bride

oh who do you sing to
Banjo Rick
as you sit on that dock each day

do you sing
in hopes that tomorrow's sun

will burn the memories of yesterday

oh who do you sing to
Banjo Rick

tell me who
tell me who
tell me who
