Joe

Twenty-one, so young and tender but blue I remember, I remember laughing for no reason with you Laughing Sharing a bottle on the stairs That led to your wooden room Full of cigarettes and green glass bottles Yesterday's meal by the mattress on the floor Where we danced In the garden below your window Where I first began to know To know you Joe Whisper the memory but not too loud Remember the symphony when we were allowed, to play? Touch my hand, show me how, stroke my brow I need to know now that I can dance with you I want to dance with you, I want to dance Like I did when I first began to know you, Joe A now I gotta say I think I want to ride I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet I think I want to ride I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet So I'm sittin' here with the sun about to smile About to show it's face and take away my little fantasy Break out the phonograph, play some "Billie" for me One more time before I go Let it shine, shine, shine, shine on me I think I want to know, want to know you, Joe I think I want to ride I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet I think I want to ride I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet I think I want to ride I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet Sit down in the back room And throw me over the bar Fly me up to your sky, moon A-now A-beep-bop-ba-da-dee-yah A-what? Oh, that's it I know it sounds kinda crazy I think I want to know, want to know you, Joe Yeah! I think I want to ride I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet I think I want to ride I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet I think I want to ride And I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet I think I want to ride Well, I think I'm gonna fly along on your magic carpet Yeah, yeah
