JOAN BAEZ lyrics : "Sgt. Pepper's Band"

I never knew you meant that much to me
Why did I pour a candle when you died
Find a picture of you walking in Central Park

With the iron woman by your side
That candle burned for twenty days
Most of my best friends came to mourn

And talk about the good ole days
Before my friends and I were born


Now I think I understand
That it was Sgt. Pepper's band
That put the sixties into song

Where have all the heroes gone?

Lucy in the sky with the lads from Liverpool

Drop some acid, meet the Queen
Coming out of both eyes of the hurricane
You sang your music sweet and clean

You may not want my poetry
I surely do not want your fame
You rose over the dawn of my early history

I'll pay you tribute all the same

Now I think I understand


That it was Sgt. Pepper's band
That put the sixties into song

Where have all the heroes gone?
Where have they gone?
Where have they gone?

Where have all the heroes gone?
Where have all the heroes gone?


It was a diamond studded hard day's night
They say everyone was there
I must have heard you from my mother's arms

And I must have thought somebody cared
I live in the age of cosmic maniacs
One of them put a bullet in your side

New York City, 1980
The day the sixties finally died


Now I know I understand
That it was Sgt. Pepper's band
That put the sixties into song

Where have all the heroes gone?
Where have they gone?
Where have they gone?

Where have all the heroes gone?
Where have all the heroes gone?
