00:00There is now, nothing else really matters As we wait and watch the night run by
00:29And we see, lonely men inside their windows And we see ourselves inside their eyes
00:46Life is very long, when you don't belong Will you please come and try to comfort me now?
01:01Will you please come and help me find a reason to be alive?
01:15We have built within ourselves a private shelter And we never dare to leave this room
01:38And I feel, I'd like to get to know you better And I want your friendship very soon
01:53Life is very long, when you don't belong Will you please come and try to comfort me now?
02:08Will you please come and help me find a reason to be alive?

04:31What a day for dandelions and making shade beneath the vine And walking in the park to hear the chimes
04:44What a day for kites to fly in What a day for rain to die in
04:51What a day to look up at the stars
04:58And when we spend our time together, together It doesn't matter what we do
05:10As long as I'm with you, as long as I'm with you
05:17What a day for cotton candy What a day for feeling that way
05:24What a day for lying by the sea
05:31And when we spend our time together, together It doesn't matter what we do
05:56As long as I'm with you, as long as I'm with you
06:03What a day for dandelions and making shade beneath the vine And walking in the park to hear the chimes
06:27Springfield, Illinois, they say he came from Born October 1881
06:43Moved to Ballarat when it was prosperous Stayed there after everyone had gone
06:59And after all those long, lonely years Dry, windy days and chilly nights
07:14Seldom seemed slim, could no longer return To a world he had vanished from his sight
07:30I've got no people, I'm an orphan Roaming like a tumbleweed
07:45I'm half burrowed, half coyote And there ain't nothing that I need
08:00And after all those long, lonely years Dry, windy days and chilly nights
08:15Seldom seemed slim, could no longer return To a world he had vanished from his sight
08:45And after all those long, lonely years Dry, windy days and chilly nights
09:10Dry, windy days and chilly nights Seldom seemed slim, could no longer return To a world he had vanished from his sight
09:32Found him lying sick one Tuesday morning In the ruins that he knew so well
09:47Five days later it was over Ballarat has no one left to tell
10:01And after all those long, lonely years Dry, windy days and chilly nights
10:17Seldom seemed slim, could no longer return To a world he had vanished from his sight
10:48I saw her today, she had nothing to say But she'd come back to stay
11:09Never to wander, never to stray I met her at the station
11:16She knew all along, she knew she was wrong She ran to my side
11:25Together we tried to remember the times Days of joy and laughter and time
11:34We had the best information We stood on the sand, she gave me her hand
11:42Sun and shadow moving in the middle of the railroad line How could we have ever been apart for all that time?
12:12We need to be near, it's all very clear That tomorrow, my friend, will be a beginning
12:29We never will end, so full of expectation Never to change, never to change
12:42Sun and shadow moving in the middle of the railroad line How could we have ever been apart for all that time?
12:54I saw her today, she had nothing to say I saw her today, I saw her today
13:08Someday, if I look high above me The place I love looks down from up above
13:29Sitting in a rocking chair, I close my eyes to dream Out into a land of daydreams, high on top of a hill
13:43It's a bright and sunny morning and the air is clear We've a love that sings with a screaming heart
13:53People run around in love
13:57Sitting in a rocking chair, I close my eyes to dream Through a lonely avenue of dreams, high over my head
14:10Suddenly, something could be drilling through the trees Turn my head, but I can't see
14:23Someday, if I look high above me Way up to the top of the tree
14:37Radiating across the sky, nearly far away The place I love looks down from up above
14:53Sitting in a rocking chair, I close my eyes to dream Through a misty haze, a rainbow spreads its light all around
15:07But slowly comes a voice, who told me, told me That my husband's in the air of days, disappears back in my head
15:20Someday, if I look high above me Way up to the top of the tree
15:34Radiating across the sky, nearly far away The place I love looks down from up above
15:49Sitting in a rocking chair
16:19Radiating across the sky, nearly far away The place I love looks down from up above
16:49Somehow, by a million staring eyes Accusing voices, telling us we must conform That we should live like they do
17:11They look happy, so they hope that we'll be the same way But we're on to something, on to something
17:20All the magic art that I've begun To hold the curtain outside and try To use our hearts, have been denied
17:32Oh, far from all the tears we've cried We're sewn together in love forever
17:45All the magic art that I've begun To hold the curtain outside and try To use our hearts, have been denied
17:59If the people in this world would always stop to dream And look beyond their wicked plans Maybe they'd see what we see
18:12All the beauty of this life is here For anyone who wants to fly, don't you worry
18:21All the magic art that I've begun To hold the curtain outside and try To use our hearts, have been denied
18:33Oh, far from all the tears we've cried We're sewn together in love forever
18:46All the magic art that I've begun To hold the curtain outside and try To use our hearts, have been denied
18:59Let's take a ride in the white golden sky Let's take a ride, you and I, you and I
19:12Oh, you and I, you and I Oh, you and I, you and I
19:24Oh, you and I, you and I Oh, you and I, you and I
19:42Today I walked around In the early mornings, through the city, in a gentle rain
20:10My hand fell to the ground Picking up a letter that was lying on a rusty drain
20:22There was no name I looked upon the lonely line
20:36It was a letter from Someone who had been in love and then was cast away
20:48And as I read her poem Something in the way she wrote just made me want to say
21:00The hurt will heal I understand the way you feel
21:14You must forget what you have been through You must forget what you have gone through
21:36To ease your pain and rest your mind
21:47I put the paper down Wondered if the day would come when we would ever meet
21:59The rain fell harder now Couldn't even see the letter blowing down the windy street
22:11She left no name I understand her lonely pain
22:25You must forget what you have been through You must forget what you have gone through
22:46To ease your pain and rest your mind
23:16Rolling down near Tucson on a Tuesday morning Model A Ford rumbling through the dusty wind
23:47Gas stations, city diners in the sunshine Passing line before us where they've always been
24:04And the day passes on like a dream We're just riding around to the places we've seen every day
24:25Molly Lou looks out into the blue horizon She says she cannot stay another day
24:44This town can bring you down We've got to blow it Or we'll end up living here in bail and pay
25:02And the day passes on like a dream We're just riding around to the places we've seen every day
25:25They say back east you've got a chance for heaven West coast is supposed to be just the same
25:44We just can't stay here till we die
26:01Rolling down near Tucson on a Tuesday morning
26:14And the day passes on like a dream We're just riding around to the places we've seen every day
26:22Countdown, work is getting harder Countdown, days are getting longer
26:29Countdown, get yourself together Get ready for compulsion
26:35For the worst is not yet over Time remains in motion
26:43Better settle down before the windy, rainy hour In our beautiful world
26:56Countdown, times are very troubled Countdown, hope is in the rubble
27:10Countdown, better get a shovel And get ready for compulsion
27:16For the courtroom is in session You're not a judge or jury
27:24Better settle down before the windy, rainy hour In our beautiful world
27:37Don't try to hide or try to fight it Or you've lost, lost all control
27:48You must accept even what you don't expect You're alone, you're alone
28:01Countdown, work is getting harder Countdown, days are getting longer
28:09Countdown, get yourself together Get ready for compulsion
28:15For the worst is not yet over Time remains in motion
28:23Better settle down before the windy, rainy hour In our beautiful world
28:54Sleep, winding through the countryside Giving you a place to hide
29:06Taking you upon a ride Sleep, takes you to another time
29:17Doesn't even cost a dime Let your worries stay behind
29:28And let me fly away in slumber Let me fly away
29:34Where nothing can hang you up at all Where nothing can hang you up at all
29:58Sleep, taking you away from home Destination is unknown
30:20How to travel on your own
30:26Taking you upon a ride Sleep, takes you to another time
30:31Doesn't even cost a dime Let your worries stay behind
30:41And let me fly away in slumber Let me fly away
30:47Where nothing can hang you up at all Where nothing can hang you up at all
31:12Walking through the city When the drizzle is so misty
31:24And the day just brings me down Just like the day that has before
31:32I could never reach her There was nothing I could teach her
31:38For she's lived a hundred lifetimes She's opened every door
31:45And it's strange And it's strange
31:49Yes, it's strange Very strange
31:53It's a cloudy day And the weather ain't gonna change
32:01She is so confusing She's so distant
32:06It's her choosing Yet the vacuum that she leaves
32:11Makes me want to hide away
32:16Walking through the city When the drizzle is so misty
32:22And the day just brings me down Just like the day that has before
32:31And it's strange And it's strange
32:35Yes, it's strange Very strange
32:39It's a cloudy day And the weather ain't gonna
32:43Cloudy day And the weather ain't gonna
32:47Cloudy day And the weather ain't gonna change
32:52Weather ain't gonna change
