Harvey Andrews Troubadours
Cold windy morning
The rainclouds are forming
And I gotta catch another train
To a broken hotel
Where I'll sleep for a spell
Before I have to sing songs again
And Scott's writing poetry
John's singing balladry
Alan's in the USA
Living on your applause
We are the troubadours
With something inside to say
And we never slow down
We just pass through
We come to your town
And we play for you
And we meet when we can
In a battered bar
Drink a bottle of wine
To a rising star
Rab's on the bus again
Ralph's on a street of pain
David's on his forest mile
People down by the sea
Sing songs by Jeremy
So sad they raise a smile
Rosie writes lullabies
Somewhere a baby cries
Asking for her to stay
Living on your applause
We are the troubadours
With something inside to say
And we never slow down
We just pass through
We come to your town
And we play for you
And we meet when we can
In a battered bar
Drink a bottle of wine
To a rising star
And we never slow down
We just pass through
We come to your town
And we play for you
And we meet when we can
In a battered bar
Drink a bottle of wine
To a rising star
So please, if we sing a song
Ask you to sing along
Don't be afraid to try
There's joy and there's sorrow
There's hope for tomorrow
So we'll see you by-and-by
If we leave a memory
That's all we hope to be
Helping you through your day
Living on your applause
We are the troubadours
With something inside to say
Yes, sleeping on empty
'Cause we are the troubadours
Travelling along our way
