Say It's Alright Joe...(And Then There Were Three...1977)
(Mike Rutherford)
Say it's alright Joe, I need another drink To blow on the glass so I know I'm alive
Play me a song Joe To fill the hours till morning Then never again will I bother you Ooh, Build myself a tower No way in no way out. Then my friends can visit me Once in a while.
Say it's alright Joe, I need some reassurance You never know what you might find in the night. Ooh I'm just a busy bee, still alive in my hive, I'm looking for some other world To dream out my dreams.
There were Kings who were laughing in the rain And they told me I'd come here to lead the parade All the colours were changing, The sky was in ruins The lights are all shining on me and on you Oh, Shine on........
Say it's alright Joe The night will soon be over And nothing and no one will ever know. Open my eyes Joe I'd like to see the daylight The clock on the wall says it's time to leave. Never seen the same face twice Never walked the same way The little love that I have known I keep to myself.
If there's a fire it's asleep in my bed I must leave it to burn till it burns itself out Catch as you can I'm not staying here long I'll be coming back early or never at all Shine on........
