About the Artist
Lyrics
We passed upon the stair We spoke of was and when Although I was not there He said I was his friend Which came as a surprise I spoke into his eyes I thought you died alone A long long time ago Oh no, not me I never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world I laughed and shook his hand Made my way back home I searched for form and land Years and years I roamed I gazed a gazely star Of all the millions here We must have died alonе A long, long time ago Who knows, not me We nеver lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world, yeah (extended live instrumentals/guitar solo) Who knows, not me We never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold the world Oh no; not me I never lost control You're face to face With the man who sold ... The world [spoken: Thank you Thanks very much that was it, written in 1968 ...]
