In the corner of the morning and the best
I would sit and blame the master first and last
All the roads were straight and narrow
And the pills were small and yellow
And the rumours spread that I was ageing fast
Then I ran across a monster
Who was sleeping by a tree
And I looked and frowned and looked again at me
Well, I sit alone and I sit alone
And I asked why not and I replied I don't know
So he asked a simple black bird
Who was happy as can be
Well, he laughed and said, and quipped, Khalil Gibran
So I cried for all the others
Till my day was nearly through
For I realised that God's a young man too, yeah, yeah
ย
And that was called The Width of Circle
Are you going to be doing gigs with this band?
Ha, I'm looking at them, no, yes
We're going to do some gigs, aren't we, Michael?
Michael doesn't really know, he's just come down from Holland
I met him for the first time about two days ago
Through John, the drummer, who's worked with me once
I see, but you are planning to go on the road, as it were?
Yes, yes, very shortly
