Bless You, John Lennon, Walls & Bridges, 1974
Walls & Bridges is my favorite solo Lennon. The album was recorded during John’s notorious ‘lost weekend’, during which time he drank too much, hung out with nogoodniks like Harry Nilsson and Elton John, but also redeemed himself by mending fences with his son Julian. And still found time to write some of his best songs.
Bless you wherever you are
Windswept child on a shooting star
Restless Spirits depart
Still we’re deep in each other’s hearts
Some people say it’s over
Now that we spread our wings
But we know better darling
The hollow ring is only last year’s echo
Bless you whoever you are
Holding her now
Be warm and kind hearted
And remember though love is strange
Now and forever our love will remain
