about

My Ears Have Heard the Glory.
Perhaps the greatest pop music drummer of all time - gone way too soon.

lyrics

God Only Knows
by Cary and Mary-Margaret Stratton

We drank to your passing, a night in Tanquery.
The man who was serving didn't care anyway.
We were telling each other of another lost day
A man was a mortal, it got in the way

CHORUS:
So I bought me a bottle, and I planted a rose.
Who do I turn to now God only knows?
Azrael's callen', that's how he goes...
Who do I turn to now, God only knows?

You did it all so, how can it be said.
You left us too soon we, were lucky you stayed.
What have you left, but a few broken dreams?
A fold who will follow onto other means.

CHORUS:
So I bought me a bottle, and I planted a rose.
Who do I turn to now God only knows?
Azrael's callen', that's how he goes...
Who do I turn to now, God only knows?

BRIDGE:
Night after night, our ears fell down.
The mighty are shortened, and steady, unsound.
The clubs may be silenced, the grime stands by.
A man with a jonie will die

CHORUS:
So I bought me a bottle, and I planted a rose.
Who do I turn to now God only knows?
Azrael's callen', that's how he goes...
Who do I turn to now, God only knows?
