On Being Frank Songtext / Lyric

I had it all, or should I say I saw it all?

And it's a long way from the dustbin of New Jersey to the top

Who would have known?

Who would have known



I had a dream, but dreams had other plans for me

For 30 years I set the thermostat

Where Frank Sinatra liked it,

And old his girl hands on his hats

I never knew which one were mine

Now he's gone, and I'm alone






And I don't know where I might be going

I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing

Set me on the roadside from the house

But how, for me was always someone else you know

That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down

I shook the hands, a few dames and presidents

And though they always smile politely

With the measure of the core

Still their eyes would stand me on me

For a glimpse of something more

But now he's gone,

Now they're gone



And I don't know where I might be going

I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing

Set me on the roadside from the house

But how, for me was always someone else you know

That shadows always fall, when the sun goes down



Alone, is shadow of a star, don't you know

That shadows always fall, yeah shadows always fall,

When the sun goes down

And I don't know where I might be going



I heard the wind, the wind stopped blowing

Set me on the roadside from the house

But how, for me was always someone else to go
