Rabbit Boys
03:45
|

|
The sound of the wind and the rain
But the leaves don't complain
They're for the joys of the rabbit boys
Grass is growing high
Before the boys go by
Carrying big plans in small hands
Dandelions bend towards the season's end
All for a boy's game
And a rabbit's name
Rolling over hills of clover
Wet with the tears of the innocent years
Grey are the skies but bright are the eyes
Laughing again
Through the sun and rain

I Just Found the Blues
03:12

The sun never sets, stays high in the sky
Flowers are always in bloom
And it only rains if that's what I choose
I just found the blues
Lights are green, it's all going my way
Radio's playing my favorite tune
And every game I play, I can't lose
I just found the blues
I'm dizzy on my feet, life has never been so sweet
You've got me so confused
Why don't you come and walk a mile in my shoes
I just found the blues
Oh yes indeed, I'm agreeing with you
I'm agreeing with your point of view
Everything you say is so true
I just found the blues
That look in your eyes, you always know what to do
Everywhere you go I want to come to
Take another stroll down the avenue
I just found the blues

Eleanor Rigby

Eleanor Rigby, picks up the rice from the church where a wedding has been
She lives in a dream
Waits at the window
Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door
Who is it for?
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
Father McKenzie, he's writing the words for a sermon that no one will hear
No one comes near
Look at him working
Darning his socks in the night when there's nobody there
Nobody cares
All the lonely people, where do they all come from?
All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

The Unfinished Song
03:11

Where's old Johnny Raindrops when you need him most?
Wonder how he's getting on.
It's not that I need company 'cos I'm not on my own
There's me and this unfinished song.
I remember playing outside the jewellers shop
In Charleville Meziers
Where had all the people gone?
And where's that piece of paper I wrote all those ideas on?
To help with this unfinished song
Where's Scruffy Pete now King Billy's changed his name?
Just as the nights are getting long.
It's not that it's a problem
I've been here before
Me and this unfinished song
How many lines from this unfinished song
Will ever be sung?
One of these days inspiration will come
I'll pick up a pen and get this done
Rupi and the nightingale waiting patiently
For their time to come along
But I wait for no one and no one waits for me
Me and this unfinished song
Stayed overnight at the Pack'o'Cards
Throught the dice to pick a room
Thought I'd leave with something
To show for being there
Instead of me and this unfinished song
Me and this unfinished...
