01:01In the rain-swept carnival, standing, waiting for a crowd.

01:11The singer tries a tune, he hopes the guitar will be loud.

01:20Colored lightbulbs, dancing, creaking in the wind,

01:28around the ferris wheel, around the ferris wheel.

01:36In my life there is a girl, golden laughter in her eyes.

01:45The freedom of the world, being chased by all the guys.

01:55Though I tried to make her say she was mine,

02:02I know better now, I know better now.

02:14I know better now, I know better now.

02:44I know better now, I know better now.

03:14I know better now, I know better now.

03:44I know better now, I know better now.

04:14A lifetime full of changes, never knowing just what the next one is.

04:37New lines, different faces, new time around, it's all changed again.

04:50Oh my darling treats me well, I'm a little bit afraid.

04:59The people crowding round, they just add to my dismay.

05:09Just to know that you are standing by my side, makes it better now, better now.

05:24In the rain swept carnival, standing waiting for a crowd.

05:33Singer tries a tune, hopes the guitar will be loud.

05:42Colored lightbulbs, dancing, creaking in the wind,

05:48round the ferris wheel, round the ferris wheel.

06:02The wind songs, oh the wind songs, they roll along in the windstorm.

06:14The wind songs, oh the wind songs, they roll along in the windstorm.

06:26The wind songs, oh the wind songs, they roll along in the windstorm.

06:43The wind songs, oh the wind songs, they roll along in the windstorm.

07:13The wind songs, oh the wind songs, they roll along in the windstorm.

07:24The wind songs, oh the wind songs, they roll along in the windstorm.

07:34Young man he sits and writes in the moonlight, wishes that he could get it right.

07:55Sometimes it makes him sad but it's alright, if he's leaving tonight.

08:07And all the songs he'll ever write will be wind songs, which shall be played upon the air.

08:19And all the songs he'll ever sing will be wind songs, sung to anyone who's there.

09:19Tides of the breeze just keep rolling along, me and my sweet one laid back in the sun.

09:40Fine songs on the radio, it's a lazy day.

09:51Look in the sky and there I can see, dandy lines just rolling free.

10:02Shining bright in the moonday sun, it's a lazy day.

10:13Ooh, that water, it sure looks nice.

10:23Ooh, sweet wine, it's as cold as ice.

10:36Sing something simple now and then, you can make love or talk to a friend.

10:48Settle down, relax for a while, it's a lazy day.

10:59Tides of the breeze just keep rolling along, me and my sweet one laid back in the sun.

11:10Fine songs on the radio, it's a lazy day.

13:31Take Off

13:46Pick up a pebble, toss it in the air, yeah, just missed your sister Sue.

13:53She got mad and ran and told your daddy, and he came down to get you.

14:00Dear old daddy was a real big man, he was nearly six foot five.

14:07He don't take to no fifteen year old boy who's talking jive, so you say,

14:14No fair papa, please don't be unkind.

14:20Been out all day in the burning sun, sipping on my apple wine.

14:26The poor world's looking for Rosie, and I don't give a damn.

14:33If you want some of my apple wine, catch me if you can.

14:57Jump up and ran through a field of stubble, where the bells of Hayhide ring.

15:04Down through the river with the weeping willows, and then you jump right in.

15:11Float on your back with a bottle of wine, and then you jump right in.

15:18Jump up and ran through a field of stubble, where the bells of Hayhide ring.

15:26You roll on your belly and you sing into the sun.

15:31Papa can't swim and just has to grin, cause he knows his race is wrong, and you say,

15:38No fair papa, please don't be unkind.

15:44Been out all day in the burning sun, sipping on my apple wine.

15:50And the whole world's a-lookin' for rose, yeah

20:34BAD DOG!

20:36DOG!

20:38BAD DOG!

20:40BAD DOG!

21:04BAD DOG!

21:26Riding across the mountain high

21:33Two city cowboys reaching for the sky

21:40Can't quite believe the things they see

21:45Take much delight in

21:49Just being free

21:54As they come to rockin' round the bend

22:01One man is turning, saying to his friend

22:08Say man, you're moving way too fast

22:13Just take it easy

22:17We'll make it last

22:22By a thousand feet, but all I see

22:29Knowing this thing has got the best of me

22:36Can't quite control the way I go

22:41Once more I'll take time

22:45To kiss the snow

22:49By a trail through the sky

22:56Watch me sail, watch me fly

23:03And I sing as I run and fly

23:12Watch a little bird fly

23:16Watch a little bird fly

23:46Standing on top of windy hills

24:05Spreading my wings so I could feel the thrill

24:13To climb upon the natural high

24:18You get lost sailing through the sky

24:26You see my old friend over there

24:33Watch as the wind goes rushing through his hair

24:40Watch as the light shines in his eyes

24:45My, my, my, my friend

24:48It's your failed night

24:52By a trail through the sky

24:59Watch me sail, watch me fly

25:06And I sing as I run and fly

25:16Watch a little bird fly

25:19Watch a little bird fly

25:34La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

25:41La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

25:47La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

27:02La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

27:09La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

27:14Watch the sun dance upon the dust I made

27:23Been awake near the whole night through

27:29Now the sun starts its run, its race across the sky

27:38And I shuffle, shuffle on my way

27:44Sunday news, Sunday bread and marmalade

27:53And the man has to mow his lawn

27:59While the leaves on the trees go dancing in the breeze

28:13Singing song, gentle and fine

28:22Moldy Sunday, lying dying for sleep

28:29Oh, I can feel the pain

28:34Moldy Sunday, suffering from bruise

28:43Which I swear I won't touch again

28:50Now the world comes awake in a Sunday way

28:58Vowel hats go to church to pray

29:05Hear my bloody eyes easing through the day

29:13Making songs, music and rhymes

29:19Sunday news, Sunday bread and marmalade

29:28Still man has to mow his lawn

29:34It doesn't stop soon, we'll send him to the moon

29:42With a ticket marked for one way

29:53Moldy Sunday, lying dying for sleep

30:01Oh, I can feel the pain

30:05I can feel the pain

30:11Moldy Sunday, suffering from bruise

30:19Which I swear I won't touch again

30:26No, no, not ever

30:47Happy New Year

31:01Happiness is sitting in the sun

31:08Contemplating, celebrating all your days' work done

31:15And all that you're concerned about is how to get some fun

31:22And to get you on, lonely lady

31:29On my right there sits an evil man

31:36I've often wondered if he does it all run to a plan

31:43Anyway, girl, could I say I'll do the best I can

31:50Will you make me your man, lonely lady?

31:57Girl, I thought the whole thing over

32:01And I'm gonna have to come on older

32:05What have I to lose if you turn and walk away?

32:12Leaving me to start all over

32:16Looking for a friendly shoulder

32:19What am I to do, lovely lady?

32:24Attitudes, well, I've quite a few

32:32Some concerning politics and some concerning you

32:39Anyway, girl, could I say I'm very fond of you

32:46I think that you are too, lovely lady

32:53Girl, I thought the whole thing over

32:57And I'm gonna have to come on older

33:01What have I to lose if you turn and walk away?

33:07Leaving me to start all over

33:11Looking for a friendly shoulder

33:15What am I to do, and does it matter anyway?

33:21How can I go to Saturday night with you even though I need you?

33:28Can I even take your word for anything you say?

33:35Just because it's Saturday night

33:39Can I be sure it's gonna work out right?

33:42Can I be sure enough about it to turn around and say?

33:49Oh, on a Saturday night

33:52There ain't nothing you can do

33:54That won't turn out right

33:56There ain't nothing you can do

33:58It's gonna turn out anyway

34:03Oh, on a Saturday night

34:06There ain't nothing you can do

34:08That won't turn out right

34:10There ain't nothing you can do

34:12It's gonna turn out anyway

34:19She stepped up, loudly cussing

34:23Crazy in the eyes

34:26Smiling, drunken, walking strange

34:30Back slapping at her thighs

34:33I shivered in her eyes

34:37She stepped up, loudly cussing

34:41Crazy in the eyes

34:44Smiling, drunken, walking strange

34:46I shivered and turned my head away

34:52Staring at the drain

34:59Her shoes were scratched and broken

35:03Her clothes she'd long outgrown

35:06She lurched into the taxi rank

35:10I guess she was going home

35:12I shivered again

35:16Staring at the drain

35:19I wish she would leave us alone

35:26Really, woman

35:29Well, will you sleep tonight?

35:32And when you're to sleep

35:34Will your dreams be dreams?

35:36But no, all right

35:39And who's going to care?

35:42Will you never wake up?

35:45No matter what

35:48Will you ever wake up?

35:51Crazy woman

36:08guitar solo

36:30She said she was a hard lady

36:34I'll do it if you pay

36:36And she offered her service to a Catholic priest

36:40Who blushed and turned away

36:43The taxis came

36:46And the taxis went

36:49Till only her and I remained

36:56Then a man went by with a look in his eye

37:00That chilled me to the bone

37:02He turned around and came back again

37:06He offered to take her home

37:09His collar turned up

37:12His eyes turned down

37:15He drove that girl away

37:22Crazy woman

37:25Well, will you sleep tonight?

37:28And when you're to sleep

37:29Will your dreams be dreams?

37:32But no, all right

37:35And who's going to care?

37:38Will you never wake up?

37:41No matter what

37:44Will you ever wake up?

37:47Crazy woman

37:50guitar solo

38:20She said she was a hard lady

38:23I'll do it if you pay

38:26And she offered her service to a Catholic priest

38:30Who blushed and turned away

38:33The taxis came

38:36And the taxis went

38:39Till only her and I remained

38:43guitar solo

40:05piano solo

40:17piano solo

40:32Some gather roses, pretty women

40:41On the chocolate boxes

40:46Smiling sweetly, so completely

40:53Right in every way

40:59Some, not so perfect

41:06Never being what they're meant to be

41:13A bit like me, but happily come to

41:22Most every way

41:26But I'll be back

41:33Bet you lies, I'll be back

41:41I'll be back

41:47Bet you lies, I'll be back

41:55The sun rises slowly

42:02Chasing sleep from the dreaming eyes

42:09So dreams and wishes, fantasies

42:16May all be realized

42:23Something has happened, something strange

42:33I can't explain it, who's to blame

42:40It's all the same, this time belongs to you

42:50But I'll be back

42:57Bet you lies, I'll be back

43:04I'll be back

43:11Bet you lies, I'll be back

43:19I'll be back
