SONG TO PAUL
(EXCERPT)
Text and Music by James Sundquist

1982 ROCK SALT MUSIC, BMI
© 2014 JAMES SUNDQUIST / EAGLE MASTERWORKS PRODUCTIONS

This song is based on a story told to me about when a man was an only child and would go to the circus to see a circus giant that he looked up to literally and figuratively.  The giant was as tall as a certain branch on this tree.  When the man was a child, it looked like this giant was as high as the sky.  But when the man became an adult, he then visited the circus grounds and saw the very same tree again, was amazed that now he was taller than this branch!



THANK YOU PAUL, NOW YOU KNOW WE ALL MUST FALL

SOONER OR LATER, IT HAPPENS TO US ALL

ALL THINGS MUST PAST, A FLOWER FADES, A WREATHE IS LAID

ALL FLESH IS GRASS, SOON IT WITHERS, FOR ONLY HIS WORD WILL LAST

THANK YOU PAUL

So now your albums are in cut-out bins

Discount specials from all of your sins

Do grown up children, still call you on the phone

Well I guess they don't know you were always alone

Does anybody really know that your name is really Paul

Well I guess they're done playing with Porcelin dolls

Thank you Paul
