Lyrical Response

[Bill from NYC]

Sitting here on the bench
With my back against the fence
Wonderin'-a-if I
Have any sense

Something tells me I'm a fool
Let you treat me so cruel
But nevertheless I say again
you gotta be waiting

Sittin' in the park,
Waitin' for hoooo-hoo-hoo-hoo

[Gray Beard]

Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah

I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time

[WhoTom]

I'm just sittin' here watching the wheels go 'round and 'round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Gray Beard]

Roll along, roll on
Rose of Cimarron
Dusty days are gone
Rose of Cimarron

Shadows touch the sand and 
Look to see who's standin'
Waitin' at your window
Watchin', will they ever show
Can you hear them callin'
You know they have fallen 
On campfires cold and dark 
That never see a spark burn bright

[PastaJoe]

Stood alone on a mountain top
Starin' out at the Great Divide
I could go east, I could go west
It was all up to me to decide
Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'
And my soul began to rise
And pretty soon
My heart was singin'

 

Roll, roll me away
I'm gonna roll me away tonight
Gotta keep rollin', gotta keep ridin'
Keep searchin' till I find what's right
And as the sunset faded I spoke
To the faintest first starlight
And I said next time
Next time
We'll get it right

[Bill from NYC]

The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is

The lock upon my garden gate's a snail, that's what it is

First there is a mountain then there ain't no mountain, then there is

First there is a mountain then there ain't no mountain, then there is

[Gray Beard]

Let's lock the door and throw away the key now
(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)
I can't wait to kiss you (Oh, no!)
One little minute more

 

[SinceThe70s]

I got to leave before I start to scream
But someone's locked the door and took the key

 

You feelin' alright?
I'm not feelin' too good myself

[WhoTom]

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright

 

[Gray Beard]

Feel I'm goin' back to Massachusetts
Something's telling me I must go home
And the lights all went out in Massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own

[ExWNYer]

Well, she was just seventeen
You know what I mean
And the way she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there?

 

Well, she looked at me
And I, I could see
That before too long
I'd fall in love with her
She wouldn't dance with another
Ooh, when I saw her standing there

[WhoTom]

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

 

[Bill from NYC]

I don't mind when you say,

That you're going away

I just don't want to be lonely

And I don't mind when you share

Only moments a day

I just don't want to be lonely

 

[ExWNYer]

Only the lonely (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know the way I feel tonight (ooh yay, yay, yay, yeah)
Only the lonely (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)
Know this feeling ain't right (dum-dumb-dummy doo-wah)

 

There goes my baby
There goes my heart
They're gone forever
So far apart

[WhoTom]

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone

 

[Gray Beard]

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on
And it makes me wonder

 

[PastaJoe]

The long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door

[SinceThe70s]

Everyday is a winding road
I get a little bit closer
Everyday is a faded sign
I get a little bit closer to feeling fine

[WhoTom]

It's the end of the world as we know it

And I feel fine
