Leonard has been such an outstanding
capturer
of HUMAN MOMENTS,
in the face of
HUMAN DILEMMAS,
has he not?
Four o'clock in the afternoon
and I didn't feel like very much.
I said to myself, "Where are you golden boy,
where is your famous golden touch?"
I thought you knew where
all of the elephants lie down,
I thought you were the crown prince
of all the wheels in Ivory Town.
Just take a look at your body now,
there's nothing much to save
and a bitter voice in the mirror cries,
"Hey, Prince, you need a shave."
Now if you can manage to get
your trembling fingers to behave,
why don't you try unwrapping
a stainless steel razor blade?
That's right, it's come to this,
yes it's come to this,
and wasn't it a long way down,
wasn't it a strange way down?
At one point in my life, that one lyric absolutely captured
the moment I was in. You have to be a GREAT OBSERVER AND A GREAT FEELER to be able to do this.
Namaste!
