Jerry Jeff Walker - To The Artist слова песни




Jerry Jeff WalkerThis song is a letter sung to a special friend of mineOne who stopped his singing somewhere back along the lineI wondered if he`d had enough of the rip-offs and the jiveOr did he sing his song one night and lose the will to writeIt never was a business deal, this thing with your guitarIt always seemed more a dance done deep inside your heartTonight I wonder if it`s true, like we felt it at the startThat an artist truly does it best when he does it from the heartIt seems to be much more than an art when the art you sell is youBe careful how you play the game or else the game plays youIn the old days we`d stay up nights and laugh until we criedYou said songs don`t belong to us we just bring some thoughts to lightThe rule of thumb is never give the truth away to rhymeAnd a man can`t lie when he tries to sing it betrays him every timeWe really write to understand more about ourselvesAnd if we`re lucky maybe then we touch someone elseWell, I just got back from Europe friend where they hung on every wordIt made me feel a little better about my chosen line of workThey asked me if I knew you wrote a lot these daysI told `em all I know is that you rarely ever playWe start out singing what we like and just give it all awayAnd wind up hating what we play and sit begging to be paidSo let me say in closing friend, I want you to knowI understand how hard it was to let your music goAn artist must decide which parts to leave in and take outAnd if he no longer plays the game that`s what the game`s about
