Tony Lewis
recording of 1994, New York
from
Bloodlines (Alligator ALCD 4821)
I can't recall a time so many children had the blues
Can't recall a time so many children had the blues
In worlds of pain and pressure they're growing up too fast
The innocence of childhood, just a memory from the past
And I can't recall a time
Lord, I can't recall a time so many elders lived in fear
Can't recall a time so many elders lived in fear
Crime and disrespect have them locked behind behind closed doors
Stretching out fixed incomes while the cost of living soars
And I can't recall a time
Man abusing woman, adult abusing child
Teachers trying to teach, ha!, with bullets whizzing by
Lord, I can't recall a time it was so hard to keep the faith
(spoken: Listen now)
Most get less and less while just a few get more and more
Time is getting tight, the wolf is at the door
And I can't recall a time
My, my, my, my
(spoken: It's just hard to see so many people suffering so much.
Hard to keep the faith. You see it and it's sad)
Most get less and less while just a few get more and more
Time is tight, Lord, and the wolf is in the door
And I can't recall a time so many children had the blues
Here is the table of contents.
