lyrics

I saw the ghost of Moses Asch
Holding a microphone and a wad of cash
Telling me he cut me a record deal
If I showed him the bus that would take him back
to 1973, beautiful New York City
to plant a silver maple tree
And I bet he would say his life is over

I saw Marian in the flesh
She's clear as sea, sky, stars, sun and cigarette
Telling me she'd throw me a dime if I help her
Climb the mountain of regret
That starts there at her feet
and looks over the Atlantic
But now her lungs are weak
And I bet she would say her work is over
