Lyrics

The Cover Artist

The Cover Artist

Timothy Underberry

Jack was
Struck
By lightning

Lightning
Strikes
Again

Bridge
Over
Troubled waters

Did you ever
Have to make
Up your mind

Jack set forth
For his
First ovation

Now he sings
The songs
Of others

As if the
Songs were
Secret lovers

He steps to
The mic without
Stage fright

Covers the
Others
Oh so right

The long and winding road
Here, there, and everywhere

Oh he’s the
Cover artist

After the
Gold rush

Crooning Dylan
Young and Prine

Oh he’s the
Cover artist

Digging Ziggy
Stardust

Late for
The sky

Summer's
End

His voice sounds
Like Mister Soul

His guitar is
A heart of Gold

Hello in there
Sam Stone

Like a rolling stone
Get back
Rocky Racoon

Oh he’s the
Cover artist

Heaving
His harvest

Of ballads
Tangled up in blue

Oh he's the
Cover artist

Doin' his
Darndest

To lighten
Your load

And lessen
Your woes

The cover artist

Wants to take you higher

And higher still

He wants to hover

Above the FOLIAGE

Of Songland

And never land

The cover artist

Wants to take you

By the ears

Through the years

And fly away with

You and yours

In a sonic balloon

A basket of vintage tune
