The first time that I called you in that old New York hotel It was Halloween all over with that trick you played so well I woke you up from dreaming singing songs of yesterday We took a drive to Newport to hear St. Peter play
Chorus Dust on you mouth, legends on your mind Hanging out with Bogart in some bygone place and time Sing me your sweet 'Changes' when I'm feeling down and blue And I'll treasure precious hours that I stole away with you
Oh the muggy nights in Soho, I had so much to learn You gave me wings to fly away and asked for no return Lon Chaney's ghost beside us wore the face of Mickey Finn And I never once suspected that you and he were friends
Chorus
The last time that I saw you, you weren't really even there I cried when I heard you come across out on the air You bid your last farewell just like your first hello And I'll always think about you when I pass through Ohio
Chorus
Notes: When Sammy had been noticed by Sis Cunningham and Gordon Friesen, Phil, or 'John Train' as he had begun to call himself, set about promoting Sammy and helped produce his first album 'Song for Patty'. Phil sang vocals on Sammy's cover of Bound for Glory, and that was the last time he would be heard on record. Legends appeared on Blue Ridge Mt. Skyline (Warner Bros BS3080) released in 1977.
