And Other Short Stories/Baby James Harvest

Here i sit watching the day out
No-one beside me who may doubt
All of the words that i could chose to say
So listen, believe, or be gone from this day
I need a friend to walk with me
And sit in the shade of an old tree
To think nothing much, just agree with my thoughts
To say nothing much, never tell what i ought
Watching the people pass by now
They just don't know why or know how
They don't seem to care about all that i've seen
They just walk on by never knowing i've been
Sitting up here where i'm wind blown
Only to ask and to be shown
Things that would make you believe what i say
I'll tell you myself and i'll show you some day

Passing time in the sun
To think of things, lost and done
You wonder why she left so soon
No word or reason why
All feelings born can only die
Lazy days passing by
With memories you just can't hide
The song flows on you can't pursue
Your words don't mean a thing
The mood's too hard for you to sing

Moving on with a sigh
A silhouette against the sky
The seconds they dripped right on by
And slowly filled the day
And feelings born can only fade away

There's a little bit of you and some of me
There's a little bit of everything you see
But you don't know why harry cried
There's a time right after love when you feel low
Like a bird with perfect wings denied the sky
But you don't know why harry cried

Take a look at the common man
He can talk with the use of his hands
Pass you on by with a smile
Like he just don't care
Take a look at yourself in the light
People see by the look in your eyes
Either you're deaf or you're blind
Or you just don't care well something stirred today
Young harry he passed away

Someone moves and a leaf falls to the ground
Morning comes and he is not around
But you don't know why harry cried

Well you pick him up and you put him in your hand
And he slips on through like tiny bits of sand
But you don't know why harry cried

Take a look at the common man
He can talk with the use of his hands
Pass you on by with a smile
Like he just don't care
Take a look at yourself in the light
People see by the look in your eyes
Either you're deaf or you're blind
Or you just don't care well something stirred today
Young harry he passed away
Bye bye

Mystery is following me down that lonesome road
And i don't know my way, my way back home
There's someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load
And i don't know my way, my way back home
There's a certain something deep inside
Like a rolling sea or a river wide
As the orchestra starts playing
Get down joe

You can see his face, you can feel his smile
Yeah, look down low and let the tears run wild
When the orchestra starts playing
Blue john's blues

Think about me, girl, and the things i ain't said
I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do
While the folks around me sing on
Blue john's blues

Band is swinging, people singing
Get down joe

There's a place down home where people meet
They clap their hands and they stamp their feet
When the music starts and the band plays
Get down joe

They sing out loud and they sing out clear
Turn your head round girl and you might just hear
And if you do then start down singing
Blue john's blues

Think about me, girl, and the things i ain't said
I could not be sad, thinkin' 'bout the things that you do
While the folks around me sing on
Blue john's blues

Band is swinging, people singing
Get down joe

Take hold of john's blues (?)
Must be a thousand hues (?)
Blue john's blues
Get back joe
Take back all of your dough
You've got no place to go
Blue john's blues
Get back now joe
My sweetest girl that i ever had
She's drive any poor man bad
Blue john's blues


Well my ma and my papa said, son
You'll get the kb when you're not on the run (?)
Blue john's blues
Well my lady and me we're gonna dance all night
Yeah yeah we're gonna dance until the broad broad light
Blue john's blues
The sweetest girl that i ever had
Was guaranteed to drive a poor man bad
Blue john's blues
Blue john blues
Get back joe
Lord, get back joe

I once loved a lady who did change into a child
I saw the light of day shine in her eyes
I loved her like a baby and i raised her to the sky
It seems the light of day did pass me by
Now she walks along the seashore
And she listens to the sea
But i can't say if she ever thinks of me

If i were of the ocean
Or a wave upon the sand
Or just a drop of water in her hand
A pebble or a broken shell
A rock upon the shore
I doubt if i could love her any more

Now she walks along the seashore
And she listens to the sea
And i can't say if she ever thinks of me no i can't say if she ever thinks of me
