Lester's Harp

Lester’s Harp

SWEET MELODIES PIERCE THE HEART

IT’S THE SOUND OF THE LIGHT CHASING OUT THE DARK

IT’S THE CHUG AND THE RHYTHM OF A NORTHERN TRAIN

ON IT’S WAY THROUGH A DESOLATE WILDERNESS

ON A MISSION TO DELIVER SOME TENDERNESS

I CAN HEAR IT CALLING OUT MY NAME

IT’S A COOL BREEZE THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR

ON A BLISTERY DAY IT LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE

IT’S A THREAD THROUGH THE NEEDLE AND THE HAMMER TO THE NAIL

IT’S A LONESOME CALL AND A MIDNIGHT WAIL

HMMMMMMM LESTER’S HARP when you hear it,

it FILLS YOUR SPIRIT LESTER’S HARP

LESTER LEARNED TO PLAY THE HARP

IN THE BACK ROOMS OF THE ROADHOUSE BARS

WHERE HE WAILED WHILE HIS MOMMA PLAYED WITH THE BAND

WHO RAISED HIM ON THE DELTA BLUES

AND THE BLACK MUSICIANS WHO WROTE THE TUNES

AND LIVED A LIFE HE CAME TO UNDERSTAND

SOME SAY HE’S A SAINT SOME A SINNER

BUT LESTER’S GOT SOUL, & SURE NOUGH’ DOES DELIVER

HE’S THAT LONESOME WAILIN’ HARMONICA MAN

IT’S A COOL BREEZE THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR

ON A BLISTERY DAY IT LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE

A PSYCHOTROPIC DRUG AND A PHEROMONE

A FEEL-GOOD IN THE GROOVIN’ ZONE

IT’S A THREAD THROUGH THE NEEDLE AND THE HAMMER TO THE NAIL

IT’S A LONESOME CALL AND A MIDNIGHT WAIL

LESTER’S HARP

WHEN YOU HEAR IT

LESTER’S HARP

WILL FILL YOUR SPIRIT

LESTER’S HARP
