about

Inspired by the NY Times article "The Lonely Death of George Bell"

lyrics

It's no surprise to hear that he's dead
he lived a long life
We all get old
I'd like to think he called me his friend
Though with "Big George"
It was hard to know

I heard the was found lying lifeless on the ground
In a dirty apartment he called home
It sounds like a line
But I think of him all the time
Feel real bad that George died alone

We used to sit right here at the bar
Shoot the shit
Say life was hard
I got the sense that he was in pain
Though he'd never admit it just the same

I heard he was found lying lifeless on the ground
In a dirty apartment he called home
It sounds like a line
But I miss him all the time
Feel real bad that George died alone

Only when I dream can I see
George's black eyes staring back at me
Now

I heard he was found lying lifeless on the ground
In a dirty apartment he called home
It sounds like a line
But I wanna see him one last time
I'm sorry George had to go
