Lyrics

SONG FOR MOWBY D. Costello

Let me tell you 'bout a friend we all called Mowby
Died in 2009, March 3
Though I never even knew him by his real name
He was like family to me

I can't find any rhyme or reason
Can't think of what you'd say in your defense
No one's ever accused me of believin'
But right now nothin' else makes any sense

(Chorus) Oh, there's been a cosmic oversight
There's been a darkening of the light
Ohh, Lord, you got a good one back tonight

I'd sing on his stage all night long
While he'd share his thoughts over bottles of grain
And though he always called out for a John Prine song
He always let me play whatever came

(Chorus)

He dug his heels in hard when push came to shove
Then he'd buy a drink for the whole damn bar
Some say he was a hard man to love
Some say that's the way the real ones are

Oh, there's been a cosmic oversight
There's been a darkening of the light
Ohh, Lord, you took a good one back tonight

(Chorus repeats)
