Richard Cory Lyrics - Singles - Martini Ranch

Whenever Richard Cory went downtown 

The people looked at him 

Having been schooled in every grace 

We wished that we were in his place 

That was then, this is now 

Life is what you make it 

This is it, this is now 

Change trains at Jamaica 

Years from now.... 

He was richer than a king 

We thought that he had everything 

The children laughed, the music played 

We topped the bill but never stayed 

Then one calm summer night 

He went home, put a bullet through his head 

That was then, this is now 

Life is what you make it 

This is it, this is now 

Change trains at Jamaica 

Years from now....
