Composer: Randy Sharp

"I had the pleasure of producing the two new songs on Art Garfunkel's upcoming double CD "The Singer." It's a must-have retrospective of choice Simon and Garfunkel and solo Art G songs through the years. "Long Way Home," a song of mine and "Lena," a song written by my father, Randy Sharp are the collection's only two new works.

Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, Dean Parks, Linda Taylor, Vanessa Freebairn-Smith, Matt Rollings, Leah Kunkel and engineer, Ryan Freeland all contributed to the Grade A recording experience and downwright good hang."

Lyrics:

Lena's been burning both ends of her candle.
She's over her head in complication and scandal.
But Lena takes her troubles in stride.
As she runs to the bottle,
To confess and confide,
Lena surrenders.

Lena has taken to flaunting her passions
Offers herself in the boldest of fashion
But Lena says it's under control
As she looks to the bottle,
To calm and console,
Lena surrenders

Lena,
Surely you don't believe,
By hiding in bottles you'll never relieve
All the pain love has brought you
The fire and the cold.

Lena,
Take heart,
Take heart.

Lena,
Surely you don't believe,
By hiding in bottles you'll never relieve
All the pain love has brought you...
The fire and the cold.

Lena,
Take heart.
Take heart.

Take heart.
Take heart.
Lena!
Lena!
Take heart.
Lena!
Lena...
