Jack The Lion Lyrics

rake up all the leaves in pleasant valley 
it's the last day of my visit upstate new york 
to pay respects to the old man 

he's still got his sense of humor 
but his body fails him 
he's surrounded by loved ones 
but that only goes so far 
and does he know where he is? 
i doubt it. 

jack the lion roaring his last 
like a vision sent from the past 
bedside, crying, holding his hands 
strong hands 

finally get a moment alone with the old man 
he's having trouble breathing and he's not the only one 
he wonders where time goes 
and why we haven't spoken for so long 

he regrets it 
he forgets it 
and none too soon... 
because he's closing his eyes and fading 

we thank you for uniting 
we thank you for the cause 
we thank you for the lion 
we thank you for the claws 

come see him again 
come see him again 
come see him again 
come see him again 

bop bop bop 

jack the lion roaring his last 
like a vision sent from the past 
bedside, crying, holding his hands 
strong hands
