My son Parker Martin Smith painted this of the Phoenix

I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on

Found deep water before I'd even learned to swim
Found deep water before I'd even learned to swim
Never thought I'd see the sun again

Once I was a...once I was a man alone
Once I was a...once I was a man alone
Now I've found a heart to call my home

Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
No more living someone else's dreams

I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on

You almost had me, old lady You almost tied me down good
You played the lady in waiting And I waited as long as I could
Too long the songs have been silent Too long the strings have been still
I never knew what you wanted And I guess that I never will

Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
Like a Phoenix I have risen from the flames
No more living someone else's dreams

I have cried too...I have cried too long
I have cried too...I have cried too long
No more sorrow...got to carry on
