A Linda Song

He never wrote a song for Linda He wrote as though he lived alone He wrote of dreams that end And of sad brave men Inventing worlds he'd never known But he never wrote a song for Linda And she was right there all along Loved him back to life When his luck ran low But he never wrote a Linda song He nearly broke his heart at writing Linda kept him from despair Standin' by his side through the hungry days But he hardly seemed to see her there And he never wrote a song for Linda And she was right there all along The one real thing in his crazy world And he never wrote a Linda song. When the bills piled up He couldn't pay He couldn't dream no more So he hitched a ride and he rode away And he left a note for Linda by the door By the door When times got rough he'd phone her Once or twice she took the call Then she changed her number and she turned her head And Linda never looked back at all He'll never write a song for Linda And she was right there all along All he knows is no one understands And he never wrote a Linda song No he never wrote a Linda song
