If I’d lived my life by what others were thinkin’, the heart inside me would’ve died

I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity

Someone had to reach for the risin’ star, I guess it was up to me

Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot

Minstrels of this age
Salute you Mr. Lightfoot!!

For melody refined,
broad and true.
Elegant, haunting harmony
and beautiful rhythm.
The TRIAD.

Well-seasoned tales of the mountain
and purple sea.
Of skipper, captain and fool.
Yours is the well-tuned craft,
yours is the minstrelsy.

We are but dreamers
who make homage
to the minstrel of this age.
