I come by in the evening to hear 'bout where he's been He says - Come on sit down Kid, where shall I begin? He starts telling me the stories of the glories of his past But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last. And he says - My Corey's coming. No more sad stories coming My midnight-moonlight-morning-glory's coming aren't you girl? And like I told you, when she holds you She enfolds you in her world. I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew And so I asked the townfolk if his stories were true They said - Old John was born here, he's lived here all his life He's never had a woman, let alone a wife. And very soon you'll find out as you check around That no one named Corey's ever lived in this town So I chided the old man 'bout the truth that I had heard He smiled and said - Reality is only just a word. I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout I looked in the window and saw the fire was out When he would not wake up I forced in the door And found that Old John Joseph would tell stories no more. The scene at the graveyard, three of us were there Me and the gravedigger heard the parson's prayer He said - We need not grieve for this man, For we know that God cares! They put the cold dirt over him and left me on my own And when at last I looked up I saw I was not alone So I said - If you're a relative, he had a peaceful end. She said - My name is Corey - you can say I'm Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Empty, Everybodys Lonely, Everybodys Lonely, Fall In Love With Him, Flowers Are Red, Get On With It, God Babe Youve Been Good To Me, God Babe Youve Been Good To Me, Greyhound, Halfway To Heaven, I Do It For You, Jane, I Dont Want To Be President, I Dont Want to Be President, I Finally Found It, Sandy, I Miss America, I Wanna Learn A Love Song, I Wonder What Would Happen to Him, I Wonder What Would Happen To This World, If My Mary Were Here, If You Want To Feel, It Seems You Only Love Me When It Rains, Jenny, Last of the Protest Singers, Last Stand, Laugh Man, Legends of the Lost and Found, Let Time Go Lightly, Love Is Just Another Word, Mail Order Annie, Manhood, Mercenaries, Mismatch, Mr. Tanner, My Old Lady, Northwest 222, November Rains, Odd Job Man, Old College Avenue, Old Folkie, On The Road To Kingdom Come, One Light In A Dark Valley, Paint A Picture Of Yourself (Michael), Poor Damned Fool, Pretzel Man, Remember When the Music, Roll Down The River, Salt And Pepper, Sandy, Saturday Morning, Sequel, Other Harry Chapin song Lyrics 30,000 Pounds Of Bananas Lyrics A Better Place To Be Lyrics A Lot of Lonely People Tonight Lyrics A Quiet Little Love Affair Lyrics All My Lifes A Circle Lyrics And The Baby Never Cries Lyrics Anthem Lyrics Any Old Kind Of Day Lyrics Babysitter Lyrics Barefoot Boy Lyrics Basic Protest Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Harry Connick Lyrics Jr. Harry Connick Lyrics Harry James Lyrics Harry James Orchestra Lyrics Harry McClintock Lyrics Harry Mills Lyrics Harry Nilsson Lyrics Harry Potter Lyrics Harry Secombe Lyrics Harry Simeone Chorale Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
