If you go before I do,  
I’m gonna tell the grave digger that he’d better dig two.

When I woke there I was by the winter tree  
Nothing changed but a thought in the air  
Seasons turn, take their days  
And in time, I’ll take mine  
I’ll go back there

Have you ever seen a better day  
Though we follow many different ways  
Though your mind may hold the winter time  
Spring is never very far behind  
In the summer under open skies  
We’ll see the sunshine, shine on  
Take it easy live today today  
We’ll see the sunshine, shine on

</div>

his is my winter song to you  
The storm is coming soon  
It rolls in from the sea

My voice, a beacon in the night  
My words will be your light  
To carry you to me

Is love alive?  
Is love alive?  
Is love

But if it’s love you’re looking for,  
Well, I can give a little more.  
And if you’re somewhere drunk and  
Passed out on the floor.  
Oh Joey, I’m not angry anymore.

Somewhere out there  
Beneath the pale moonlight  
Someone’s thinking of me  
And loving me tonight.

</div>

True love can be whispered from heart to heart  
When lovers are parted they say  
But I must depend on a wish and a star  
As long as my heart doesn’t know who you are.  
Sweet dreams be yours dear,  
If dreams there be  
Sweet dreams to carry you close to me.  
I wish they may and I wish they might  
Now goodnight, my someone, goodnight.

You can reach me by railway  
You can reach me by trailway  
You can reach me on an airplane  
You can reach me with your mind

You can reach me by a caravan  
Cross the desert like an Arab man  
I don’t care how you get here  
Get here if you can

My boomerang won’t come back  
My boomerang won’t come back  
I’ve waved the thing all over the place  
Practiced till I was black in the face  
I’m a big disgrace to the Aborigine race  
My boomerang won’t back

You came back, You came back.  
And by the mischievous look in your eye  
I’d say that before long,  
If I’m not wrong,  
You’ll be back  
You’ll come back again.

Sooner or later you’re gonna  
be comin’ around,  
I betcha, I betcha that I catch ya,  
You wait and see.

Sooner or later you’re gonna  
be hangin’ around,  
I betcha, I betcha if I catch ya,  
You’ll hear from me.

You’re gonna knock on my door  
You’ve done it before  
Matter of factly I don’t know exactly when

But sooner or later you’re gonna  
be hangin’ around  
And want my cookin’ again.

Lovely to see you again my friend  
Walk along with me to the next bend

Tell us what you’ve seen  
In far away forgotten lands  
Where empires have turned back to sand

Wonderful day for passing my way  
Knock on my door, and even the score with your eyes…

Lovely to see you again my friend  
Walk along with me to the next bend…

Tell me stories, I called to the hobo  
Stories of old, I smiled to the hobo  
Storie of cold, I wept to the hobo  
As he stood before my fleeting house

No, said the hobo, no more tales of time  
Don’t ask me now to wash away the grime  
I can’t come in for it’s too high a climb  
And he walked away from my lonely house

He was a man and a friend always.  
He stuck with me in the hard old days.  
He never cared if we had no dough.  
We’d ramble around in the rain and snow.

And here’s to you, my rambling boy.  
May all your rambling bring you joy.  
And here’s to you, my rambling boy.  
May all your rambling bring you joy.
