Everyday is a winding road I get a little bit closer Everyday is a faded sign I get a little bit closer to feeling fine He’s got a daughter he calls Easter She was born on a Tuesday night I’m just wondering why I feel so all alone Why I’m a stranger in my own life Jump in, let’s go Lay back, enjoy the show Everybody gets high, everybody gets low These are the days when anything goes ---

In the ribbon of her mantle there I did behold His name and his surname in letters of gold; Young William O’Reilly appeared in my view He was my chief comrade back in famed Waterloo. And as he lay dying I heard his last cry ‘If you were here, Lovely Nancy, I’d be willing to die;’ And as i told her this story, in anguish she flew. And the more that I told her the paler she grew. ---
