Lyrics
Oh, Tully, it's on account of you that I've been weeping
Here behind my hand
And it's lonesome in my heart's land
As the sands of the desert
Oh, tell me why was it always you
Through the changes you always sang
And played while the green vespers rang
In the heart of the hillside
It's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other
You and me, sweet and slightly out of key
Like the sound of a running down calliope
Oh, Tully, once I was your knight in golden armor
With the sun behind my hair
And my music filled the air
With cymbals and lightning
Oh, Tully, now can't you see I'm changing like the seasons
My hair is growing dark
And there's no room left in the ark
For a lark with a broken wing
It's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other
And the child's voice so tender and out of tune
Keeps a-playing I'll be swinging home soon
Oh, Tully, it's on account of you that I'll be leaving
Across the deep salt sea
Whatever wild worlds I may see
Will be empty without you
It's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other
And the child's voice so tender and out of tune
Keeps a-playing I'll be swinging home soon
