1
He went to Paris
2
Looking for answers
3
To questions that bothered him so
4
He was impressive
5
Young and aggressive
6
Savin' the world on his own
7
But the warm summer breezes
8
The French wines and cheeses
9
Put his ambition at bay
10
His summers and winters
11
Scattered like splinters
12
And four to five years slipped away
13
Then he went to England
14
Played the piano
15
And married an actress named Kim
16
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
17
And bore him young son named Jim
18
And all of the answers, and all the questions
19
He locked in his attic one day
20
'Cause he liked the quiet
21
Clean country livin' and
22
Twenty more years slipped away
23
Well, the war took his baby
24
Bombs killed his lady
25
And left him with only one eye
26
His body was battered
27
His whole world was shattered
28
And all he could do was just cry
29
While the tears were falling and he was recalling
30
Answers he'd never found
31
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean
32
And left England without a sound
33
Now he lives in the islands
34
Fishes the pilings
35
And drinks his green label each day
36
Writing his memoirs
37
Losin' his hearin'
38
But he don't care what most people
39
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion
40
If he likes you he'll smile, and he'll say,
41
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
42
But I had a good life all of the way."
43
And he went to Paris
44
Lookin' for answers to questions
45
That bothered him so
