On Being Frank

On Being Frank by Ben Folds Five from the album "The Sound of the Life of the Mind" (2012) Intro: Verse: I had it all, or should I say I saw it all? And it's a long way from the dustbin of New Jersey to the top Who would have known? Who would have known I had a dream, but dreams had other plans for me For 30 years I set the thermostat Where Frank Sinatra liked it, Pulled his girls and hung his hats I never knew which ones were mine Now he's gone, and I'm alone And I don't know where I might be going I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing Set me on the roadside coming home But home, for me was always someone else you know That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down Verse: I shook the hands, mafia dons and presidents And though they always smile politely With a measure of decorum Still their eyes would scan beyond me For a glimpse of something more But now he's gone, Now they're gone And I don't know where I might be going I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing Set me on the roadside coming home But home, for me was always someone else you know That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down PIANO Solo: Bridge: Alone, the shadow of a star, don't you know That shadows always fall, yeah shadows always fall, When the sun goes down And I don't know where I might be going I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing Set me on the roadside coming home And home, for me was always someone else you know OUTRO:
