Leon Lyrics - Roger Daltrey

Leon came along 

To see me on the road 

He took the time to come backstage 

And make himself known 

And although we'd never been real close 

As friends we'd shared some times 

Worked the clubs, once traveled music 

Together for a while 

Leon, you've been away too long 

The world ain't still the way it used to be 

Leon, you've been away too long 

To turn your back, now, on your family 

Tomorrow I'll be in Amsterdam 

He smiled and shook my hand 

Wished me all success 

And I said try to understand

"But I envy you", he said 

And I tried to share his loss 

Told him how the road 

Was still as tough as it was 

Leon, you're been away too long 

The world ain't still the way it used to be 

Leon, you've been away too long 

To turn your back, now, on your family 

My plane flew into Amsterdam 

And lying in my room 

I heard the news how Leon died 

That very afternoon 

I telephoned my flowers 

With some words I hoped were kind 

With our backstage conversation 

Still burning in my mind

Leon, you've been away too long 

The world ain't still the way it used to be 

Leon, you've been away too long 

To turn your back now on your family
