Beside You

Little Jimmy’s gone Away out of the back street 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-bell chime Six bells chime And all the dogs are barking Way on down the diamond-studded highway where you wander And you roam from your retreating view And way over on the railroad Tomorrow while the tipping trucks roll out all 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, 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 away along 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 magical 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 got to 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 Ooooh, oooh Child
