It was a $1000 wedding supposed to be held the other day And with all the invitations sent The young bride went away When the groom saw people passing notes Not unusual, he might say But where are the flowers for my baby I'd even like to see her mean old mama And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived He took some friends out drinking and It's lucky they survived Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way And he felt so bad when he saw the traces Of old lies still on their faces So why don't someone here just spike his drink Why don't you do him in some old way Supposed to be a funeral It's been a bad, bad day
The Reverend Dr. William Grace Was talking to the crowd All about the sweet child's holy face and The saints who sung out loud And he swore the fiercest beasts Could all be put to sleep the same silly way And where are the flowers for the girl She only knew she loved the world And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play Supposed to be a funeral It's been a bad, bad day Supposed to be a funeral
I'm falling in love again Never thought I would again never I thought I would And I may be making mistakes again But if I lose or win how will I know How will I know how will I know how will I know how will I know And I'm falling in love again and if I lose or win how will I know [ ac.guitar ] How will I know...
I'm sittin' in the morning sun Sittin' when the evening comes Watchin' the ships roll in Then I watch em roll away again
I'm sittin on the dock of the bay Watchin the tides roll away I'm sittin on the dock of the bay Wasting time
Left my home in Georgia I was headed for the Frisco Bay I have nothing to live for Looks like nothing's gonna come my way
I'm sittin on the dock of the bay Watchin the tides roll away I'm sittin on the dock of the bay Wasting time
Looks like nothing's ever gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what them people tell me to do So I guess that I'll just remain the same
Sittin here restin my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home
I'm sittin on the dock of the bay Watchin the tides roll away I'm just sittin on the dock of the bay Wasting time
Pardon me, if I'm sentimental when we say goodbye Don't be angry with me should I cry When you're gone, yet I'll dream A little dream as years go by Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then, there's a fool such as I am over you You taught me how to love And now you say that we are through I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then, there's a fool such as I am over you You taught me how to love And now you say that we are through I'm a fool but I'll love you dear until the day I die Now and then there's a fool such as I
Now and then, there's a fool such as I Now and then, there's a fool such as I
You want me to love just you while you love your share Don't you think that's a little unfair It's me stay home while you stay gone till you decide to care Don't you think that's a little unfair I can't see how it can be anything for me What's mine is yours what's yours is yours that's how you wanted to be And you want me to wait for you till you decide to care Don't you think that's a little unfair [ guitar ] I can't see how it can be... Don't you think that's a little unfair
Yesterday, as I talked with a friend in town, I forgot to remember that you'd gone. For a moment, I found myself smilin', But a moment isn't very long.
An' last night as I danced with a stranger, An' she held her cheek close to my own, For a moment, I almost forgot you, But a moment isn't very long.
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile, But those every now an' thens just last a little while. An' tonight I've got a date with a new love, But I know I'd do just as well at home. For a moment, maybe I could forget you. But a moment isn't very long.
[Instrumental]
Every now an' then I get a chance to smile, But those every now an' thens just last a little while. An' tonight I've got a date with a new love, But I know I'd do just as well at home. For a moment, maybe I could forget you. But a moment isn't very long.
All my tears have fallen, I can cry no more. I've cried so mmuch since you have said goodbye. The pressure keeps on building up, within my heart. It grows and grows but still, my eyes are dry. Though my heart is breakin', tears refuse to start, So I've got to find a new way to cry. I've got to find a new way to relieve the pain. It just can't stay, forever, locked inside. And until I forget you and can smile again, I've got to find a new way to cry. Instrumental break. I've got to find a new way to relieve the pain. It just can't stay, forever, locked inside. And until I forget you and can smile again, I've got to find a new way to cry.
Well I've been a lot of places in my life and time I've sung a lot of songs and I've made some bad rhyme I've acted out my love in stages with ten thousand people watchin' Now we're alone and I am singin' my song for you And I know your image of me is what I hope to be I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see No one more important to me darling can't you please see through me Cause now we're alone and I am singing my song for you Well you taught me precious secrets of a truth with holding nothin' You came out in front but I was hiding Now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding And I love you in a place where there's no space or time I love you for my life you are a friend of mine And when my life is over remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing my song for you And we were alone and I was singing my song for you
We skipped the light fandango And turned cartwheels cross the floor. I was feeling kind of seasick The crowd called out for more. The room was humming harder And the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waitress brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face at first so ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale.
She said "There is no reason, And the truth is plain to see", But I wandered through my playing cards And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast Although both my eyes were open They might just just have well been closed. And so it was that later As the miller told his tale Her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale.
[The following are additional lyrics as sung in concert]
She said she wanted shore leave Tho in truth we were at sea So I took her by a looking glass And forced her to agree Saying you must be the mermaid Who took Neptune for a ride Well she smiled at me so sadly That my anger straightway died And so it was, etc?
