Lemme tell you ‘bout a girl I know
Back in ’57 sixteen years old
Took her to the dance that was on that night
When the band came on she was shakin’ that
Finger in the air “who you think you are?”
Then I drove her home in my daddy’s car
Kissed her on the cheek same time next week
And when the band came on we was shakin’ our
Hips all wild, oh my my
The nuns in the hall had to hide their eyes
Been over 50 years, since that night
When the walls were a shakin’ / go on shake it tonight
Some days 50 years can seem so long
But it all fades away when I hear that song…

There once was a girl who was locked in a tower
She was all alone
She hummed out a song
when the darkness would come
But the words, she did not know
Now far from the tower with his ear to the ground
A boy deaf and dumb
Sang out the words
and though no one had heard
Still he smiled, at what he'd done...
*
There once was a girl who lived on the moon
She played violin
She waited all day
'til the world turned away
Then she played again
Now far down below where the ships come and go
A new wave is born
From the coin that I threw
though the wish didn't come true
Still the wave it rolls on
(it'll always roll on)...

It’s been a long time comin’
But baby I’m comin’ home
My bags are packed
I’m ready
If you see me out there
On a west-bound passing train
Just smile
And wave me on
It’s been a long long winter
But springtime’s comin’ on
The leaves are all in bloom
If you see me out there
‘mongst the blue birds in the sky
Just smile
And wave me on
I wrote a long long letter
But baby it won’t be long
‘Til I hold / you in my arms
If you see me out there
‘mongst the embers of the fire
Just smile and know
I’m coming home.
