Subject: Lyr Add: THE SHORTEST STORY (Harry Chapin) From: The Sandman Date: 27 Apr 15 - 04:13 AM in my opinion shortest story, is a memorable modern song with excellent lyrics. I heard it performed by Richard Grainger and thought it was acceptable material for a folk club, of course whether it is a folk song is debatable and possibly unimportant, any other people have modern songs that they like. THE SHORTEST STORY Written by Harry Chapin As sung by Harry Chapin on "Greatest Stories Live" (1976)
I am born today; the sun burns a promise in my eye.
It is my seventh day; I taste the hunger and I cry.
It is twenty days today; Mama does not hold me anymore. |
