Phil Ochs - Legends Lyrics

The first time that I called you in that old new york hotel It was halloween all over with that trick you played so well I woke you up from dreaming singing songs of yesterday We took a drive to newport to hear st. peter play Chorus: Dust on you mouth, legends on your mind Hanging out with bogart in some bygone place and time Sing me your sweet changes when I’m feeling down and blue And I’ll treasure precious hours that I stole away with you Oh the muggy nights in soho, I had so much to learn You gave me wings to fly away and asked for no return Lon chaney’s ghost beside you wore the face of mickey finn And I never once suspected that you and he were friends The last that I saw you you weren’t really even there I cried when I heard you come across out on the air You bid your last farewell just like your first hello And I’ll always think about you when I pass through ohio Phil Ochs Lyrics Legends Lyrics
