When will I see you again?

When will we share precious moments?

Will I have to wait forever?

Will I have to suffer and cry the whole night through?

 

When will I see you again?

When will our hearts beat together?

Are we in love or just friends?

Is this my beginning or is this the end?

Ridin' top the floodway on a Friday night,
The landscape's a fine and nat'ral sight.
Just cruisin' slow through the dark of night.
With Precious and Grace ev'rything's all right.
 
Good God Almighty, we was goin' down slow,
Yeah, if we knew just where we had to go.
Cryin', just a flyin' down a put out road
With Precious and Grace in my flathead Ford.
 
So if you're out rollin' late some night,
Yeah, and you need that supernatural delight, I'm talkin' to you, brother,
I know somebody's, they's just out of sight.
Get with Precious and Grace, they gonna treat you right.

What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
 
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
 
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain
 
And what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
 
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
 
And we are so amazed, we're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one, no one can replace
 
And I've been knocking
But no one answers
And I've been knocking
Most all the day
Oh, and I've been calling
Oh, hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out to play

Where are the legs with which ye run?  Hurroo, Hurroo
Where are the legs with which ye run?  Hurroo, Hurroo
Where are the legs with which ye run,

when first you went to carry a gun?
Indeed, your dancing days are done:
Johnny, I hardly knew ye.

Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows


I said it's alright, you know it's alright
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start?

To change the mood a little I've been posing down the pub
On seeing my reflection, I'm looking slightly rough
I fancy this, I fancy that, I wanna be so flash
I give a little muscle and I spend a little cash
But all I get is bitter and a nasty little rash
And by the time I'm sober I've forgotten what I've had
And everybody tells me that it's cool to be a cat
Cool for cats (cool for cats)

When I look back, boy, I must have been green
Bopping in the country, fishing in a stream
Looking for an answer, trying to find a sign
Until I saw your city lights, honey, I was blind
 
They said, get back, honky cat
Better get back to the woods
Well, I quit those days and my redneck ways
And, oh, the change is gonna do me good
 
You better get back, honky cat
Living in the city ain't where it's at
It's like trying to find gold in a silver mine
It's like trying to drink whiskey from a bottle of wine

I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window
Imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who's all dressed up just like a Union Jack
And says, "I've won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack"

I said, "hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Hey, you, get off of my cloud
Don't hang around 'cause two's a crowd
On my cloud, baby"

You say the hill’s too steep to climb - Chiding
You say you’d like to see me try - Climbing


You pick the place and I’ll choose the time
And I will climb that hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day


And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you’ve said today

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, stretching every nerve
Had to listen, had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Son", he said, "grab your things, I've come to take you home"

Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl in the neighbourhood, whoa yeah
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

 

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good

I met a man from Tenessee this is what he said to me
He said music is a rhapsody
He picked up his violin stuck it underneath his chin
And started playing me a symphony


I said that ain't the way it's done let me see that fiddle son
And I sawed him off a chorus or two
He said you'd better call the doctor 'cause I think I've got
The rocking Boogie Woogie Fiddle Country Blues

Splish, splash, I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night, yeah
A rub dub, just relaxin' in the tub
Thinkin' everythin' was alright
 
Well, I stepped out the tub
I put my feet on the floor
I wrapped the towel around me and I
Opened the door
 
And then a-splish, splash
I jumped back in the bath
Well, how was I to know
There was a party goin' on?

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
Holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
Was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
We were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock
