I'll Be Your Audience - Live At The Palladium, London / 1978

I had a very, very special moment
Here on stage yesterday
When I came in for rehearsal
Because, uh
I'm a third-generation performer
And it gives me a thrill to think that
It's taken three generations
Of my family to get here
On to this stage
And I feel very humble
(Applause)
Thank you very much
I guess with all these flowers
I'm gonna sing another song
(Applause)
This song's an old-time favorite of mine
It's especially for you, the audience

When your only friend just can't be found
And you got no one to hang around
Call on me, baby, I'll be your audience (Call on me)

When you're feeling low and coming down
And your feet ain't on the ground
Call on me, baby, I'll be your audience (Call on me)

Well I know
You're gonna see your ship come in
Till it does, I'll listen in
I know it's hard to get a break
Sometimes, it's just too much to take
All that's gold ain't glistening

But when they close the door, and close their ears
And even your dog don't hear
Call on me, baby, I'll be your audience (Call on me)

Soon, they will applaud your every sin
They'll say I knew her when
She was with me, baby, they'll be your audience
(whoo, let Peter know)

Baby, please, let me be your audience

Well I know, well I know
You're gonna see your ship come in
Till it does, I'll listen in
I know it's hard to get a break
Sometimes, it's just too much to take
All that's gold ain't glistening

But when they close the door, and close their ears
And even your dog don't hear
Call on me, baby, I'll be your audience
Call on me, baby I'll be your audience
Call on me, baby I'll be your audience

Thank you, goodnight
Don't let anyone pick you up
