Full time consideration of another endeavor, might be in order.

He came home to Dayton, and was questioned by his friends.

Then he smiled and just said nothing and he never sang again,

excepting very late at night when the shop was dark and closed.

He sang softly to himself as he sorted through the clothes.

Music was his life, it was not his livelihood,

and it made him feel so happy and it made him feel so good.

And he sang from his heart and he sang from his soul.

He did not know how well he sang; It just made him whole.

Such a good song!

In high school, we were asked to find a song that could be read like a poem, with a story in it. This is the one I chose.

I don't know why I was on a Harry Chapin kick last night, but I think I need to buy me some!

Can't find it.
I hate that it's an all-male song. *sigh*

I think we've got some of Harry Chapin's CDs.
I'll double check, in case you'd like to borrow a few.

It's such a good song. During the chorus, you can hear a baritone singing the chorus of "O holy night". It's wonderful.
