The Buckled Bicycle - John Williams[00:00:00]
Bill you were a friend of mine[00:00:10]
A gentleman indeed[00:00:12]
On your two wheeled steed[00:00:15]
Did you ever cry[00:00:17]
Did you laugh at our pettiness[00:00:19]
With your pump and tyre tight[00:00:22]
You left us with a bump in the night[00:00:24]
Bill was hard to understand[00:00:34]
A language of his own[00:00:36]
A man so much alone no family[00:00:38]
He was on to something[00:00:43]
His joy was plain to see[00:00:45]
I wish he could have passed it on to me[00:00:48]
Bill had no funeral[00:00:58]
He's just a ghost today[00:01:00]
His pump was his tombstone[00:01:06]
They threw his buckled bicycle away[00:01:08]
The little town closed ranks[00:01:18]
The constable was wise[00:01:20]
The driver drowns his sorrows[00:01:26]
When he turns out the light[00:01:28]
He still hears the bump in the night[00:01:31]
Drink another brandy boys[00:01:36]
And pour another beer[00:01:38]
After all he was a simpleton[00:01:44]
Was he really here[00:01:46]
Plant him in the limestone[00:02:10]
With his little bag of gear[00:02:12]
Keep his pump that's okay[00:02:19]
Just throw his buckled bicycle away[00:02:21]
A vivid boyhood memory[00:02:31]
I can't forget the day[00:02:33]
This will be his epitaph[00:02:39]
They threw his buckled bicycle away[00:02:42]
They threw his buckled bicycle away[00:03:01]
