about

For a guy who loves music, loves to sing, made a home away from home at The Midway Cafe, and took chances again and again.

lyrics

I CAN’T MAKE SENSE OF THIS

oh oh oh yeah
i can’t make sense of this
oh oh oh yeah
this makes no sense

yr fear & yr courage
hold hands
like a prayer
in your heart
your skin as white
as the driving snow
& you smile
as your life
falls apart
& yet…

oh oh oh yeah
i can’t make sense of this
oh oh oh yeah
this makes no sense

you made a home
in a music bar
& you changed your look
your hair
your make-up
your shirt
& your boots
whatever it took
hey man

but ya still stayed John
n ya still stayed honest
n ya still played songs
there you are
w your chromium guitar
so yeah

oh oh oh yeah
i can’t make sense of this
oh oh oh oh
it makes no sense
oh oh oh oh
i can’t make sense of this
oh oh oh yeah
it makes no sense…
