Beside You

Little Jimmy's gone

Way out on the backstreet

Out of the window

To the falling rain

Right on time

Right on time

That's why Broken Arrow

Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow in the evening

Just before the Sunday six-bells chime

Six-bells chime

And all the dogs are barking

Way down on the diamond-studded highway where you wander

And you roam from your retreating view

Way over on the railroad

Tomorrow all the tipping trucks will unload together

Every scrapbook stuck with glue

And I'll stand beside you

Beside you, oh child

To never never, never wonder why at all

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

To never never, never wonder why at all

To never never, never wonder why it's gotta be

It has to be

Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide

The dynamo of your smile

Caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander

Past your window with the lantern lit

You held it in the doorway and you cast

Against the pointed island breeze

Said your time was open, go well on your merry way

Past the brazen footlits of the silence easy

You breathe in, you breathe out

You breathe in, you breathe out

You breathe in, you breathe out

You breathe in, you breathe out

And you're high on your high flying cloud

Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you

This time it's found you

You turn around, you turn around

You turn around, you turn around

And I'm beside you

Beside you

Oh, darling

To never, never wonder why at all

No, no, no, no, no

To never, never, never wonder why at all

To never, never, never wonder why it's gotta be

It has to be

And I'm beside you

Beside you

Oh, child

To never, never wonder why at all

I'm beside you

Beside you

Beside you

Beside you

Oh, child
