Lyrics:
Words and Music by Arlo Guthrie
I'd like to tell you a story
For just a minute or two
And if you don't want to hear it
Just be quiet if some others
You said it in a simple way
4 AM, the second day
How strange that I don't know you at all
Stumbled through the long goodbye
One last kiss, then
Times have changed
And we've ofter rewound the clock
Since the puritans got a shock
When they landed on Plymouth rock
If today any shock they
come on
If the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Will you lay yourself down and dig your grave
Or will you
and forever
Always--I'll remember you in roses
And every day of my life
If I break
It's only cause I saw
The saddest movie today
It's all these
Children, it was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run through the days, don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's over
Children
It was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run through the days
Don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's
feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man
got to do
Is something that can be done by two
If it is then you could stay
It's a lovely day today
But you're probably busy too
So I suppose
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was ameetin' you here today
the hundred take it one by one
This is ragga with the inspiration
I can only sing of destruction today
'Cause my people are shedding blood everywhere
Raised to be a lady by the golden rule
Alice was the spawn of a public school
With a double-barrel name in the back of her brain
And a simple case
and above any love I've known
Memories may find me, but they'll always be behind me
I'll take today over yesterday, any day
I'd be lyin' if I tried to tell
disaster if left up to me
By the power of love and protection divine
We found we hold hands through the darkness and then there was light
On the inside,
station
Wanna spread my magic all across the nation
Do it all day long
Today, I opened my eyes
And now I'm so happy and free
I've got my friends by
feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man
a time when I thought that way
That's why I'm all alone here today
Since ev'ry one of these days seeks something new
From now on I'm goin' to seek some
feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man
feel today
If I'm feelin' tomorrow like I feel today
I'll pack my truck and make my give-a-way
St. Louis woman with her diamond ring
Pulls that man
See the little cloud up in the sky.
It's a good good day today.
See the little cloud pass on by.
It's a good good day today.
Mary comes now,
Of an age that weaves the silent magic in Granada today
The dawn in the sky greets the day with a sigh for Granada
For she can remember the splendour that
she knows she had the wors day ever today
She had a bullying father
She thought she was getting stronger
Her mom beats up her little brother
inside
Delta Dawn what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by?
And did I hear you say he was ameetin' you here today
You said it in a simple way
4AM, the second day
How strange that I don't know you at all
Stumbled through the long goodbye
One last kiss, then
