Beside You (Take 1)

(Workin' it! "Beside...", what?, "Beside You")
(Rolling on 1, "Beside You". "Beside You" take 1)
(Rolling on 1, "Beside You". Excuse me. Ooh, sorry)
(It's a single, Larry. This ain't hard)
(I'm gonna start right off)
(One, two...)

Little Jimmy's gone
Way out of the backstreet out of the window
Into the fallin' rain
Right on time, right on time

That's why Broken Arrow
Waved his finger down the road so dark and narrow in the evenin'
Just before the Sunday six-bells chime, six-bells chime
And all the dogs are barkin'
Way on down the diamond-studded highway where you wander
And you roam from your retreat and view
Yeah

Way over on the railroad
Tomorrow all the tippin' trucks will unload together
All the scrapbook stuck will 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, 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 mountain glide
The dynamo on your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander
Past your window with a lantern lit
You held it in the doorway and you cast
Against the pointed island breeze

Said your time was open, go well on your merry way
Across the brazen footsteps of the silence easy
And as I surround you, you breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out

And you're high on your high-flyin' cloud
Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy surrounds you
You turn around, you turn around
You turn around, you turn around
You turn around, you turn around and I'm beside you
Beside you, yeah

Oh, child
To never, never, never wonder why at all
No, no, no, no, no, no
To never, never, never wonder why at all
To never, never, never wonder why it's gotta be

Oh, it has to be, yeah
And I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh, child
To never wonder why, no
Oh, no, no

Beside you
Beside you
Oh, child!
