Phil Ochs, Bob Dylan, Steve Goodman, David Blue & Me Lyrics - Phil Ochs

At night he sits alone 

And he's looking at the stars 

He listens to them playing guitars 

He let phil go back a long, long way 

They talked about marching and dying all in one day 

They play songs together, they sit up past the dawn 

I wonder why this dream goes on. 

Bob was there last week as well 

He's a quiet guy but he's got stories to tell 

Our hero sits and listens without asking why 

Teaches bob a minor with a glint in his eye 

Bob used it on hollis brown but that was some time ago 

When is this dream gonna stop? heaven knows. 

Then our hero picks up his guitar 

To play for me the only tune he knows 

He played it to me once 

He says "where's the (? ), but this is how it goes 

Then he sings 

This is the only thing that really matters 

Keeps me going, retains my sanity 

The nights I spend alone when there's just 

Phil ochs, bob dylan, steve goodman, david blue and me 

Stevie died and then david died 

But only to the papers that live outside 

Last thursday they were in the room where he sits 

The three of them making jokes about the meager obits 

Steve and david smile and they left quite soon 

He wonders about that dream as he looks at the stars and the moon 

Sometimes he has a party for him and the crew 

They turn up on time 'cause they always do 

Phil plays "i ain't marching" 

Bob plays harmonica but plays it all wrong 

And steve harmonizes like he did with john prine 

And david just sits and looks blue all the time 

Then the time comes around again 

They all sit and listen to our hero play 

He says, "ah, you've heard it all before" 

They like it so they shout "encore" 

Then he sings 

This is the only thing that really matters 

Keeps me going, retains my sanity 

The nights I spend alone when there's just 

Phil ochs, bob dylan, steve goodman, david blue and me 

And me. 

Phil ochs, bob dylan, steve goodman, david blue and me
