So thank you for writing the best songs. Thank you for righting a few wrongs. You’re a savage gift on a wayward bus, But you stepped down and you sang to us. And get you down to the harbor now. Most of the sour grapes are gone from the bough. Ghosts of Johanna will visit you there, And the winds of the old days will blow through your hair. ---
