about

I have no explanation for this song.
None that I'll share, anyway.

lyrics

I lived in Cleveland
Cleveland lived in me
The doubts I felt at first
Turned to trust and honesty

You lived your life on the line
Which few would ever do
And things you could never see
Meant the whole wide world to you

Held In Vigil
Blank paper and drying ink
No one could foresee
Your painful exit from this world
By the powers meant to be
Tomorrow won't see me
I'm gonna be leaving
And I Desire Simple
things...

Cleveland, tell me
Have you seen my wife?
She's my million-dollar gal
And I trust you with her life

Cleve, please rest in peace
You are still a guiding light
A brew or two at noon
A shot of whiskey every night

Held In Vigil
Blank paper and drying ink
No one could foresee
Your painful exit from this world
By the powers meant to be
Tomorrow won't see me
I'm gonna be leaving
And I Desire Simple
things...

[intrumental]

Held In Vigil
Blank paper and drying ink
No one could foresee
Your painful exit from this world
By the powers meant to be
Tomorrow won't see me
I'm gonna be leaving
And I Desire Simple
And I Desire Simple
And
I
Desire
Simple things...

I lived in Cleveland...
I lived in Cleveland...
(This one's for you, Otis)
I lived in Cleveland...
