Thank You Lyrics

Thankyou (Lyrics by Kristen Henderson)
--------------------------------------------------

I promised someway
youd share the same marquee
didnt know how, didnt matter to me.

I have no idea who knows you,
whose gotten hold of this myth,
but youre a legend since the 50s
only it hasnt gone public yet

Your as sexy as a sax in blue notes,
and clever as Costello
carving lyrics from bone.

Sure you toyed with writerly genius
which has a fleeting cache,
but youve been saving lives for years
and thats more than any
Pulitzer could say.

And then theres the matter of paint
how it runs through your body
like bloodbut it aint
the only card up your sleeve
just one ace in a hand
of so many,
you keep playing to raise the ante.

Theres so much to say about other heroes,
How their music explodes
the darkest shadows, how their process takes us away
and drops us off home, but this songs about you my glorious
unknown.

And thank you, thank you
for everything.

promise someday
share the same marquee
didnt know how, didnt matter to me.
