There was a man of confused and sad nature Thought no one loved him, that was not true He said, he was a lost soul, didn't fit in anywhere Didn't know where to turn or who to turn to Oh, there's a lost soul coming down the road Somewhere between two worlds With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips We'll row the boat to the far shore Row the boat of the long lost soul Ever since, oh, I can remember We all tried to ease the pain Took him in when he needed some shelter Tried to make him feel he was one of us again There was one day, oh, I can remember He sat alone with a pencil in his hand All day long he drew careful on the paper In the end just a picture of a man Of the lost soul coming down the road Somewhere between two worlds With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips We'll row the boat to the far shore Row the boat of the long lost soul Oh, dear Mary, do you remember The day when we went walking downtown As I recall, it was in early December After school had just let out When I see you on the street in the twilight I may tip my hat and keep my head down Show me love but maybe I don't deserve it I've been called but not, but not found Oh, there's a lost soul coming down the road Somewhere between two worlds With an oar in his hand and a song on your lips We'll row the boat to the far shore Row the boat of the long lost soul

Got to get something done today Give accomplishment a shot Might not have a full palette to use But I'm gonna paint with the colors I've got There're your hopes and ideals you embrace Then there's what's staring you in the face Sorrowful times are here but they won't last 'Cause this too shall pass Feeling like a lazy tub o' lard Rajneesh Jr. gave me his business card Think I'll take the personality test To document my fine mess this far There're your hopes and dreams you embrace Then there's what's staring you in the face First place man will one day roll in last 'Cause this too shall pass Better get on out to the starting line They're coming soon They're gonna fix it in time I just want to get what's mine Not a fortune gonna just, gonna just, love life And this too shall pass Do what you got to do to find a cure For the things that make you feel so impure Just how I don't know for sure Sometimes misery has a strange allure There're your hopes and ideals you embrace Then there's what's staring you in the face Sorrowful times are here but they won't last 'Cause this too shall pass There are your hopes and dreams you embrace Then there's what's staring you in the face Sorrowful times are here but they won't last 'Cause this too shall pass

Halcyon Days Bright light streaming in, through my window pane Think I'll star at the shapes it makes On the floor and then stare again You've got your curtains drawn, Anything I can do? Maybe a rose or a pillow or a picture or a funny joke just for you To carry you away Let me bring you, some tokens of esteem Close the door on the world, make it our own beautiful scene There's a darkness visible, maybe only to me Maybe just a dream, a time-slowing-down dream, A hole you're sinking down deep Comes loose at the seams, make the dream leave Some rise by wrong And some by virtue fall And those convicting may be the guilitiest of all Wash it away I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray, Some halcyon days Feel a strong gravitational pull, holding you down And the air feels thick, having a hard time Moving through, moving round I'm hoping you may let me, help to pull you through You're here so you might as well let me see If I can do that for you Carry you away Feeling so helpless, mostly I'm a clown Every now and then gotten so even Up can feel like down In the hour of my reflection, I've had enough of disaffection Like a starless sky, no light in our eyes Maybe change this tonight, some brighter times, some lovely rhymes Some rise by wrong And some by virtue fall And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all Wash it away I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray, Some halcyon days Maybe just a dream, some ever-present dream, evanescent scenes It could seem so for me, this is for me Some rise by wrong And some by virtue fall And those in judgment could be guiltiest of all Wash it away I'd love to bring you, on a silver tray, Some halcyon days
