[00:15.20]I love to speak with Leonard
[00:18.52]He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
[00:21.93]He’s a lazy bastard living in a suit
[00:26.98]But he does say what I tell him
[00:30.97]Even though it isn’t welcome
[00:34.16]He just doesn’t have the freedom to refuse
[00:40.39]He will speak these words of wisdom
[00:43.63]Like a sage, a man of vision
[00:46.57]Though he knows he’s really nothing
[00:49.36]But the brief elaboration of a tube
[00:55.95]Going home without my sorrow
[00:58.73]Going home sometime tomorrow
[01:02.15]Going home to where it’s better than before
[01:08.14]Going home without my burden
[01:11.30]Going home behind the curtain
[01:14.76]Going home without the costume that I wore
[01:19.98]
[01:30.47]He wants to write a love song
[01:35.81]An anthem of forgiving
[01:39.58]A manual for living with defeat
[01:45.55]A cry above the suffering
[01:48.91]A sacrifice recovering
[01:52.03]But that isn’t what I need him to complete
[01:57.91]I want him to be certain
[02:01.37]That he doesn’t have a burden
[02:04.39]That he doesn’t need a vision
[02:07.19]That he only has permission
[02:10.39]To do my instant bidding
[02:13.72]Which is to say what I have told him to repeat
[02:19.13]Going home without my sorrow
[02:23.08]Going home sometime tomorrow
[02:26.25]Going home to where it’s better than before
[02:32.04]Going home without my burden
[02:35.50]Going home behind the curtain
[02:38.79]Going home without this costume that I wore
[02:44.02]
[02:53.92]I’m going home without my sorrow
[02:57.28]Going home sometime tomorrow
[03:00.35]Going home to where it’s better than before
[03:06.12]Going home without my burden
[03:09.71]Going home behind the curtain
[03:12.92]Going home without this costume that I wore
[03:18.19]
[03:31.19]I love to speak with Leonard
[03:34.77]He’s a sportsman and a shepherd
[03:37.75]He’s a lazy bastard living in a suit
