NO MORE SONGS (Phil Ochs) Hello hello hello, is there anybody home I've only called to say I'm sorry The drums are in the dawn And all the voice was gone And it seems that there are no more songs Once I knew a girl, she was a flower in a flame I loved her as the sea sings sadly Now the ashes of the dream can be found in the magazines And it seems that there are no more songs Once I knew a saint who sang upon a stage He told about the world, his lover A ghost without a name Stands ragged in the rain And it seems that there are no more songs The rebels they were here they came beside the door They told me that the moon was bleeding Then all to my surprise They took away my eyes And it seems that there are no more songs A scar is in the sky, it's time to say goodbye He withers on the beat, he's dying A white flag in my hand And a white boat in the sand And it seems that there are no more songs. Hello hello hello, is there anybody home I've only called to say I'm sorry The drums are in the dawn And all the voice was gone And it seems that there are no more songs -------------------------------------------------------------------------- recorded by Phil Ochs on his final album "Greatest Hits" (1970) (which was ironically titled because it contained all new material) copyright Barricade Music This is the last song Ochs ever wrote. In 1976 he died by his own hand. @bitching @farewell @music filename[ NOMOSNG MJ |
