about

Peace be with you Ludwig...Peace be with you Gloria.

lyrics

the street, never ever be - be the same, will never ever be
the check the people need, that they don't know they need, it bounced
the heart maybe was too full, maybe was no room and it split
the heart of the village - just stopped, just stopped.

this god, as if there was one, seems so cruel, seems so cold
- but maybe Ludwig's done all he can do, so there he goes...maybe some other lucky town
but, maybe we'll be blessed with his ghost...wont we be blessed?
- an honor we may even deserve, but maybe he deserves even better than us.

in 10 years or 12 we wont cry as we drift with no anchor, and no distinction
- just another village, and the good-will ambassador's just a legend, a local legend
-and we'll never know (not that we ever would) all the answers to questions outsiders thought they needed
in one or two years we wont cry anymore as we drift with no anchor of fantasy.

this town will never ever be, never be the same - will never ever be
this heart will never ever beat, will never beat the same - and it wont feel the same.

. . .
for 10 years or 30, the pure boy, eternal, honed his career - with precision
- a fashion plate, a diva, a debonair crooner, a glamorous mega-star... a puppy
one thing we know, he used himself as a prop to amuse everyone he Loved; and he Loved everyone
and he gave us answers to questions we didn't ask about judgement, and about Love.
