[ti:The Jordan Waltz] [ar:David Roth] [al:Pearl Diver] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Jordan Waltz - David Roth [00:14.98]Here's a quiet little song about a man who did a good thing [00:21.06]Tired of the status quo although it brought the world to him [00:27.34]He had a loss and we can only guess at the effect of that [00:33.24]So I guess it's finally time for us to leave him alone [00:39.14] [00:41.15]He walks away from something that the world has somehow glorified [00:47.30]It takes it's hold so early on that few can fight the pull [00:52.34] [00:53.03]It's the lure of big time money and of hope and fame and glory [00:59.28]That it has it's price and probably always will [01:03.83] [01:06.95]The greatest thing that you can do [01:09.97]Is walk away when you are through [01:12.86]No matter what they want from you no matter what they say [01:18.80]You're the only one who'll ever know [01:21.97]Just when it's right to let it go [01:26.16] [01:26.70]But I'm still glad I got to see you play [01:31.56] [01:46.47]I won't mourn you left the game I'd want the right to do the same [01:52.62]And not because the younger guns are taking their best shots [01:58.64]You took them all and more than once and somehow did this graciously [02:04.81]In spite of all the scrutiny the Nureyev of roundball [02:12.15] [02:12.75]I hope you have a good life you deserve to have it back by now [02:18.83]To wrestle with your children to watch a sunset now and then [02:24.80]Remembering there are much bigger things [02:27.98]Than bouncing balls and winning rings [02:32.15]Like love and health and family and friends [02:37.09] [02:38.41]The greatest thing that you have done [02:41.38]Is walked away at number one [02:44.45]No matter what we want from you no matter what we say [02:50.25]You're the only one who'll ever know [02:53.55]Just when it's right to let it go [02:58.14]But I'm still glad I got to see you play [03:04.16] [03:05.20]I hope we have the chance again someday
