I can't believe it, it happens each day
It's ill conceived, just throw it away
To watch the waiting time slipping away
It won't be long now

I hold the moment, the hour is sublime
It's hard believing, dancing with time
To watch the waiting time slipping away
It won't be long now

Down at the landing when the boats come in
People stand in line
Close by the water where the fishes swim
Round and round to pass the time
But you know it's gonna get there
Around and around it's gonna spin

Out at the airport where the planes come in
People buzzing like flies
Out at the airport where the planes come in
See the hours go flashing by
But you know it's gonna get there
Around and around it's gonna spin

Down at the station where the trains come in
Never make it on time
Down at the station where the trains come in
See my friends all walk the line
But you know they're gonna get there
Around and around they're gonna spin

View it all with suspicion, view it all and despise
View it all with suspicion, view it all with my eyes

Oh, baby, it's cryin' time
Oh, baby, I got to fly
I've got to try to find a way
I've got to try to find a way
Oh, baby, the river's red
Oh, baby, it's in my head
There's a funny feelin' goin' on, oh yeah
I don't think I can hold out long

And when the owls cry in the night
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Oh, baby, baby, how do you feel
If the rivers run dry, baby
How do you feel, oh yeah

Oh, baby, the rainbow's end
Ahh, baby, it's just a den
It's just a den for those who hide
Oh, under love to depths of life, ohh

And when the owls cry in the night
Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry
Oh, baby, how do you feel
When the rivers run dry, baby
How would you feel

Ooh yeah, the brave I endure
Ooh yeah, strong shields and lore
An' they can't hold the wrath of those who walk
An' the boots of those who march, oh
Ohh ohh, I'll never get away from you baby

Ooooh, yeah
I'll never get away from you baby

Bright light, almot blinding
Black night, still there shining
Can't stop keep on climbing
Looking for what I knew

Had a friend, he once told me
"You gotta love, you ain't lonely"
Now she's gone and lefft me only
Lookin' for what I knew

Ah ah, ah ah, ooh ooh, ooh ahh, oh

Oooh, I'm telling you now
The greatest thing you ever can do now
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now
It's very easy just'a oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ahhh

Met a man on the roadside crying
Without a friend, there's no denying
You're incomplete, there'll be no finding
Looking for what you knew

Ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ah, ooh ooh

Oooh, I'm telling you now
The greatest thing you ever can do now
Is trade a smile with someone who's blue now
It's very easy just'a ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ooooooh
Ohh yes, I
Ohh yeah
Ohh yeah
Ohh yeah
Ooooooh
Yeah
I'm tryin'
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooooooooooooh, well ahh
