CHORUS. I will be there when your train comes In the station. #1. I will be there when your train comes around the bend. And I hope you'll be my final destination.
I know what I know,. I see what I see. And whatever will be and not be. Is not up to me;. I struggle and strain. Again and again. While the power that makes and breaks things.
I don't know what you're tryna do. I don't know what's on your mind. I can't see just what's come over you. Ooh, baby, won't you show me a sign?. . I don't know what you're tryna do.
Childhood often seemed a pain to me. So hard waiting to be grown. Childhood climbed up in a white oak tree. I blinked once and it was gone. . Airplane flyin' across a midnight sky.
VERSE. Oooh, I guess I knew it would happen eventually. But I was not prepared for the word. No, I was not prepared for the word. No, they didn't give me no warning 'fore they told me the news.
VERSE. Burnin' candles, watchin' shadows. Long hours melt away in spider town. Sultry ev'nings, whisperin' windows. I sit and listen to the rain come down.
Grand Central station, wheels and it deals. The crowds rush and scramble. Round past the new stands and out across the floors. And I did some singin', and I played guitar.
Good planets are hard to find. Temperate zones and tropic climes. True currents in thriving seas. Winds blowin' through breathing trees. Strong ozone and safe sunshine.
Well everybody here, seems to like to laugh. Look at Johnny jivin' across the floor. He can play the fool and make a few mistakes. But all the same he'll never be a bore.
VERSE. Lazy, weeping willow. Swaying by a stream. Lay your body easy down. And drift into a dream. Way down south in Dixie. How long has it been?. You caught that ride to Wichita.
I went down to the corner, just to meet my gal. I found her standing on the sidewalk, talking to my pal. I strolled back to the bar room, to get another drink of gin.
On the turnpike again. Just to reach you, my friend. Just to find you and see. If you still care for me. . All the times I've been burned. Don't it seem like I've learn?.
The signal lights jerk in the wind. And snow blows off the road like sand,. The driver squints and sets his chin,. He's got to hold the upper hand,. Saginaw by midnight, that's the plan.
So you're down,. So it's hard,. Don't stop,. Don't stop now.. . Stop an' you're negating. Ev'rything that you've been waiting for so long;. Stop an' you're denying.
HERE SHE COMES NOW WITH THE BLUE DRESS ON. AND A FLOWER IN HER DARK BROWN HAIR. I WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE WHEN THE DRESS IS GONE. AND SHE'S LYIN' ON THE BED SOMEWHERE.
Dear Lord, hear Lord,. Please, if you will, my plea,. Send me someone else,. Send me someone else.. . I can't eat, I can't sleep,. I don't even brush my teeth,.
Complications, complication going down. Complication in your life time. Complication all around, once more to. Complications, complications in the wind.
Tell me, tell me,. Will they ever not short sell me?. I'm trusting you,. You're trusting, too.. . Hear me, hear me,. Just as long as you're here near me,.
Saddle up that old gray mare for me. I wanna ride until these eyes of mine can't see. I never really feel like looking very much anymore. And nothing really matters till it's closer than the house next door.
What a big new world. Is it all this tall?. Shelves in the den. And the fan blades that spin. Seem far away;. On my hands and knees. I can crawl the hall,.
