Tombstone


It抯 impatience that抯 holding back the clocks
It抯 a life of dates and documents
The soul searchers wheel and deal
If you抮e looking for repentance
They抣l hand you down a sentence

Far away in Pittsburg or Paris
Love抯 for sale and so reasonably priced
The answers are few and far between
It just bed sheets, my friend
They抮e blowin?in the wind

Chorus
Tombstone, Tombstone I know your face
One day I抣l meet you down at that special place
The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire
And I can抰 tell a shooting star from a bird on fire
Tombstone, Tombstone
Tombstone, Tombstone

There抯 a pump organ that lives on air
I can hear it from the market place
Pallid mourners in the crowd
Some are withered but alive
Where a burnin?past can find

The parishioners pour into the square
Thinking there before his grace go I
By they are mum with deafened ears
The neediest of sinners
Will forget it before dinner

Chorus
Tombstone, Tombstone
I know your face
One day I抣l meet you down at that special place
The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire
And I can抰 tell a shooting star from a bird on fire
Tombstone, Tombstone
Tombstone, Tombstone

Are you the jailer or will you set me free
How many misdemeanors can one felony
Tombstone

Chorus
Tombstone, Tombstone
I know your face
One day I抣l meet you down at that special place
The hard-earned wisdom of the night is all for hire
And I can抰 tell a shooting star from a bird on fire
Tombstone, Tombstone
Tombstone, Tombstone
Tombstone, Tombstone

Biografia

The Band was a Canadian-American rock group formed in Toronto in 1967 and disbanded in 1976, before reuniting in 1983 until 1999. The original lineup consisted of Robbie Robertson (guitar), Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko, and Levon Helm. Considered one of the most influential rock bands in American music, The Band rose to fame in the 1970s with a folk-rock sound characterized by complex orchestral arrangements and poetic lyrics. Their debut album, *Music from Big Pink* (1968), is considered a classic of the genre and helped define the sound of American music in the 1970s. Among The Band's most representative songs are "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". The band collaborated with numerous artists, including Bob Dylan, with whom they toured in the 1960s and 1970s. The deaths of Richard Manuel in 1980 and Levon Helm in 2012 marked the end of an era for The Band.
