The sky was grey with a speck of blue. Deep through a hole in the clouds the sun was screaming’ hey you. As you ramble through your sorrow seems like everything come out wrong. I’m living in yesterday’s tomorrow’s I know something’s helping me along. (RIFF 2) Forgot it for now - I’ll post it later I’ll take a melody and see what I can do about it. I’ll take simple to and feel brand new about it. I understand why the old mission men sail along sail along sail along. Someday he’ll be gone (RIFF 1) I hear you talking’ ’bout your troubles.

But I’ve been called so many things before. Tell you what I’m gonna do. (RIFF 2) I’ll take a melody and see what I can do about it. I’ll take simple to and feel brand new about it.
