Lyrics

Maestro stepped on the stage
Cured up the band
He remembered how it felt
As a younger man
He tangled her scent
In the reeds of the winds
He painted her green brown eyes
In the trembling strings
He made love to her, all over again
In the shifting breeze of Debussy
'Cause when he was more than a man
He was as he wished to be
And it had been so long
But it still came naturally
To the Maestro
He plucked the guns from their hands
Tumbled tanks like shells on the beach
Where the cheers and applause?
Can't they see he's pushing down walls?
No eyes teared but his own
The only way was on the creaking floor
In an empty hall
That orchestra left years ago
Now, he's only a man
On a stage with a stick in his hand
When he was more than a man
He was as he wished to be
It had been so long
But it still came naturally
To the Maestro
