Legends Lyrics

The first time that I called you
At that old New York hotel
It was Halloween all over
With that trick you played so well
I woke you up from dreamin'
Singin' songs of yesterday
We took a drive to Newport
To hear Saint Peter play

Dust on your mantel
Legends on your mind
Hangin' out with Bogart
In some bygone place and time
Sing me your sweet Changes
When I'm feelin' 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 us
Wore the face of Mickey Finn
And I never once suspected
That you and he were friends

The last time that I saw you
You weren't really even there
I cried when I heard you
Come acrost 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
