Raul Midon - Don`t Be A Silly Man

I was sitting on my expectation
Waiting for some validation
I was far away from home
So far from my home
Waiting in a crowded room
Talking with some people
whom I'd met before
They were traveling musicians
just like me
And I was basking in the comfort
of their company
Then there came a knock
upon the door
And a tower in my profession
Walked into the room
And people I was talking to
They couldn't leave too soon
And though I should know better
I was star struck and
babbled like a loon
I said it's awfully
nice to meet you
It's an honor and a pleasure
And you're a national treasure
And I hope we can
make some future plans
Then he turned to me and said
Don't be a silly man
Don't be a silly man
He said I don't need your
worship or your praise
It's a real conversation
that I crave
It's a real ooh
We talked about our virtues and
our crimes
We talked about the nature of
these tenuous times
How our constant search for
immortality will
always be denied
I said it's awfully
nice to meet you
It's an honor and a pleasure
And you're a national treasure
And I hope we can
make some future plans
Then he turned to me and said
Don't be a silly man
don't be a silly man
I don't need your worship
or your praise
It's a real conversation that
I crave
It's a real real real real
conversation that
I crave
Don't be a silly man
Don't be a silly man oh no
It's a real real real real
conversation that I crave
Oh yes it is don't be a silly
silly man
