lyrics

A tight suit and a black stained vest
On the man in front of me.
A violin under his hand;
I wondered who this man could be.
He sat tall with poise and a smile
And a confidence that I'd never seen.
Oh, but when I looked into his eyes,
All I saw were his broken hearts and dreams.

Then I stepped out the subway doors.
Will I see this man again, oh nevermore.
I turned around and the sirens they alarmed.
Now he's gone...

He's gone...

Vincent Montessori
Left his home at 17.
As a child, he made his name across
the entire music scene.
A downhill spiral led
To the loss of his fortune and fame.
A tight rope around his neck
brought an end to his name.

And yet, I stepped out the subway doors.
Will I ever see this man again, oh nevermore.
I turned around and the sirens they alarmed.
Now he's gone...
