crosby stills nash young – how have you been lyrics
how have you been
by john sebastian
performed by crosby, stills, & nash
on “nintendo: white knuckle scorin’ ”
1991
how have you been, my darling children
while i have been away in the west
though you are strangers i feel like i know you
by the way that you treat me and offer to feed me
and eagerly ask if iâ´ll stay for a rest
now sit yourselves down in a pile here before me
i wish i had presents for each of your smiles
but i have been travelling without much to carry
just a broken guitar case with paint on the sides
a bag and a few signs to help me get rides
but here are some beads from the throat of a princess
who lived in the years around 200 bc
divide them and wear them, but make sure to share them
’cause i want you to have them in hopes that you’ll be
as lovely as the lady who gave them to me…
and here is a strange european guitar string
i found on the floor of a club in m-rs-illes
itâ´s fat for the third string and skinny for the fourth string
but i kept it in hopes that iâ´d use it some day
itâ´s funny how people just keep things that way
and here is a turtle from the long island expressway
he says that his home has been covered with tar
so i gave him a ride on the back of my suitcase
and he says that heâ´d like to stay here in your yard
at long last his life wonâ´t be quite so hard
and how have you been, my darling children
while i have been away in the west
though you are strangers i feel like i know you
by the way that you treat me and offer to feed me
and eagerly ask if iâ´ll stay for a rest
and how have you been, my darling children
