He came from so far away he had a telephone without a number[00:00:41]
He came from so far away[00:00:49]
He came from so far away I never saw him drink a drop of water[00:00:56]
He came from so far away[00:01:04]
Well he told me that his mom was Ginger Rogers[00:01:12]
And he said his old man was Fillmore Slim[00:01:20]
And he never raised his voice above a whisper[00:01:28]
But I leaned in to every word he said[00:01:36]
He came from so far away you wouldn't even know it if you saw him[00:01:40]
He kept a picture of a pigeon in his wallet[00:01:55]
Well I dreamed I saw him once on television[00:02:02]
And I thought he'd melt the camera with his eyes[00:02:15]
When they asked him why he wore a mask in public[00:02:23]
He said This is my face it covers my disguise[00:02:31]
He came from so far away[00:02:39]
Couldn't tell a cradle from a coffin[00:02:52]
Never even owned a television[00:03:00]
And the children the children ran up to him and he held them[00:03:08]
He came from so far away[00:03:19]
