"Dear Heartbreaker" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

There's a full moon and a red sun
In the sky, all alone
My old pick-up, dear dog Rain
Morning coffee, driving home

By and by, too many gone
And life's song not quite the same
Gonna dance with my girl
Let the sweet sounds ease our pain

So the flesh and body's gone
In the wind, so it goes
Still he's not backin' down
And the music lights our souls

No, he's not backin' down
Spirit's singing from on high
Too many gone, sure feels wrong
By and by now, by and by

All you singers, keep on singin'
All you nurses, keep on healing
All you mothers, keep on lovin'
With that big love only you know

Keep us calm in the dark
Give us strength to make our mark
All you singers, keep on singing
All you mothers, hold on tight

When my time comes
Hope I'll keep faith in music and belief
Reunited with our loved ones
And no longer will we grieve

Ah, he's still not backing down
And his music lights our souls
Oh, our dear heartbreaker brother
Keep us singing, make us whole

Let the rip in my heart fill with music
We can't back down, we've come too far
Heartbreaker brother, you're still singin'
Spitting hope down from your star

I still hear your voice
I move with your songs
I still hear your guitar

Oh, our dear heartbreaker brother
We still hear your guitar
We still hear your guitar
