There's a concert
Where stars are bright
For all the lovely angels tonight
Beyond the moon, over the blue
A stage door is open for you
Storyteller, the dreamer kind
I wondered once
If you could read my mind
You made me cry
You made me smile
And put away my blues for a while
Farewell ole troubadour
Go where so many have gone
You played your final encore
So leave on the wings of a song
Farewell ole troubadour
On Carefree Highway you slipped away
I saw you in the early morning rain
Alberta bound in '85
We were on the summer side of life
Maybe one day we'll meet again
I'm hoping I know where
But who knows when
I will keep your songs alive
Great music will always survive
So
Farewell ole troubadour
Go where so many have gone
You played your final encore
So leave on the wings of a song
Farewell ole troubadour
Leave on the wings of a song
Farewell ole troubadour
