"Dear Roger" - original song about the great Roger Scruton

For the late, great Sir Roger Scruton: a giant of a man who kindly corresponded with me a little as a young artist. A very generous man, his legacy will endure far beyond his life.

Dear Roger,
How's it feel to leave a legacy?
Dear Roger,
Do you now know what it means to me?

Defender of beauty
Guardian of philosophy
Used words as gallantry
Dear Roger

Dear Roger,
How's it feel to leave the world behind?
Dear Roger,
Do you now know what you helped me find?

Defender of beauty
Guardian of philosophy
Used words as gallantry
Dear Roger

Dear Roger,
A simple song's not good enough
Dear Roger,
Please know it's sung with love
