Little Jimmy's gone way out of the back street,
Out of the window, into the falling rain,
Right on time, right on time.
That's why Broken Arrow waved his finger,
Down the road, so dark and narrow,
In the evening, just before the Sunday six-bells chime, six-bells chime
And All the dogs are barkin' way down on the garbage studded highway
Where you wander and you roam from your retreated view,
Way over on the railroad,
Tomorrow all the tipping trucks will unload together
Everywhere the scrapbooks built together stuck with glue
And I'll stand beside you, beside you,
Oh child, to never wonder why
To never, never, never, never wonder why at all
To never, never, never, never wonder why
It's gotta be, it has to be
Way across the country where the hillside mountains glide
The dynamo of your smile caressed the barefoot virgin child
To wander past your window in the lantern lit
You held it in the doorway and you cast against the pointed idle breeze
You said your time was open go well on your merry way
Past the praise and footlits of the silence easy
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out
You breathe in, you breathe out
And you're high on a high-flying cloud
Wrapped up in your magic shroud, ecstasy surrounds you
This time it's found you
You turn around
You turn around
You turn around
You turn around
And I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh, darlin'
To never, never wonder why at all,
No, no, no, no, no,
To never, never, never, wonder why at all
To never, never, never, wonder why it's gotta be
It has to be
And I'm beside you
Beside you
Oh, child
To never, never, never, wonder why at all
I'm beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Beside you
Oh, child
