Mother Nature's son
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.
See her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.
Mother Nature's son
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

Little
Jimmy's gone a way out of the backstreet
Out of the window through
the fallin' rain
Right on time, right on time
That's why Broken Arrow
Waved
his finger down the road so dark and narrow
In the evenin' just
before the Sunday six-bells chime,
Six-bells chime and all the dogs are barkin'
Way
on down the diamond-studded highway where you wander
And you roam
from your retreat and view
Way over on the railroad
Tomorrow
all the tippin' trucks will unload together
Every scrapbook stuck
will glue
And I'll stand beside you
Beside you oh child
To
never never never wonder why at all
No
no no no no no no no
To never never wonder why at all
To never
never never wonder why it's gotta be
It has to be
Way
across the country where the hillside mountain glide
The dynamo of
your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child to wander
Past your
window with a lantern lit
You
held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed island
breeze
Said your time was open, go well on your merry way
Past
the brazen footsteps of the silence easy
You breathe in you
breathe out you breathe in you breathe out you breath in
You
breathe out you breathe in you breathe out
And you're high on your
high-flyin' cloud
Wrapped up in your magic shroud as ecstasy
surrounds you
This time it's found you
You
turn around you turn around you turn around you turn around
And
I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh
darlin'
To never never wonder why at all
No no no no no
To
never never never wonder why at all
To never never never wonder
why it's gotta be
It has to be and I'm beside you
Beside you Oh
child
To never never wonder why at all
I'm beside you, Beside
you
Beside you, Beside you Oh child

Honey disconnect

You don't know how lucky you

Back in the US

Mountain way down south

Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out
Come

It's a
beautiful mornin'
I think I'll go outside a while,
An just
smile.
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain't no sense in
stayin' inside
If the weather's fine and you got the time.
It's
your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day.
Either
way,
It's a beautiful mornin'
Each bird keeps singin' his own
song.
So long
I've got to be on my way, now.
Ain't no fun
just hangin' around,
I've got to cover ground, you couldn't keep
me down.
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
When you're
still inside,
Shouldn't hide, still inside, shouldn't hide,
There
will be children with robins and flowers;
Sunshine caresses each
new waking hour.
Seems to me that the people keep seeing
More
and more each day, gotta say, lead the way,
It's okay, wednesday,
thursday, it's okay,
Monday, wednesday, friday, weekday
