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 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 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
