By Warren Zevon
Oh Tule, it's on account of you that I've been weeping
Here behind my hand
It's lonesome in my heart's land, as the sands of the desert
Oh, tell me, why was it always you, who, through the changes
You, who always sang and played while the green vespers rang
In the heart of the hillside
It's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other
You and me, sweet and slightly out of key
Like the sound of a running down calliope
Oh Tule, it's once I was your knight in golden armor
With the sun behind my hair
My music filled the air with symbols and lightning
Oh Tule, now can't you see I'm changing like the seasons?
My hair is growing dark
And there's no room left in the ark for a lark with a broken wing
It's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other
And a child's voice, so tender and out of tune
Keeps a'praying I'll be singing home soon
Oh Tule, it's on account of you that I'll be leaving
'Cross the deep salt sea
Whatever wild worlds I may see, will be empty without you
It's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other
And a child's voice, so tender and out of tune
Keeps a'praying I'll be singing home soon
Warren Zevon (1947-2003) was an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and pianist known for his acerbic wit and darkly humorous songs. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Zevon spent his childhood in California where he began playing music at age 15. After working as a session musician for artists like Linda Ronstadt and The Everly Brothers, Zevon made his solo debut in 1976 with the album "Warren Zevon". His music often explored dark and ironic themes, blending rock, folk, and country influences. Some of his most famous songs include "Werewolves of London", "Lawyers, Guns and Money", and "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner". Zevon collaborated with numerous prominent artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Nicks, and Jackson Browne. His music was influenced by a diverse range of sources, including Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and The Beatles. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2002, Zevon died the following year at age 56. Despite his short career, Zevon left an indelible mark on American rock music.
