The sky was grey with a speck of blue. Deep through a hole in the clouds -- the sun was screaming' hey you. As you ramble through your sorrow -- Seems like everything come out wrong. I'm living in yesterday's tomorrow's, I know something's helping me along.

Sail along Someday he'll be gone ---> (lick 1 x2) I hear you talking' 'bout your troubles. Everybody's got their troubles too. You can make them burst like bubbles, If you know just what to do. You know I've been called a dreamer. Dreams that never will come true. But I've been called so many things before. Tell you what I'm gonna do.
