On one summer’s day, The Sun was shinin’ fine, The lady love of old Bill Bailey Was hangin’ clothes on the line In her back yard, And weepin’ hard. She married a B&O brakeman That took and throwed her down, Bellerin’ like a prune-fed calf With a big gang hanging round And to that crowd, She hollered loud Won’t you come home, Bill Bailey Won’t you come home? She moans the whole day long. I’ll do the cookin’, darling I’ll pay the rent, I know I’ve done you wrong; 'member that rainy eve that I threw you out, With nothing but a fine-tooth comb? I know I’m to blame, Well, ain’t that a shame Bill Bailey won’t you please come home. ---

The bridge holds back the sky, Can’t hold back what’s inside. And the train above me, Sounds like the music in my head. My thoughts are undecided, I think it so I hide it, And the train rushes past, Like a day gone too fast. All I know, all I know [Is here and now](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqtN38_lK-Y) ---

Conjunction Junction, what’s your function? Conjunction Junction, how’s that function? I got three favorite cars That get most of my job done. Conjunction Junction, what’s their function? I got “and”, “but”, and “or”, They’ll get you pretty far. ---

I could assume The loneliness of my white room I saw the circles inside the squares And yet it can be so hard to be aware Three doors to go through I only want the one that leads to you Because only one leads to you This is your only chance at immortality I’ll keep you safe but I will not give you the key This is your only chance at immortality I’ll keep you safe but I will not give you the key ---

In a white room with black curtains near the station. Black-roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings. Silver horses run down moonbeams in your dark eyes. Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment. I’ll wait in this place where the sun never shines; Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves. ---

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that were apart You wander down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by Sometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely night dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with you When our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago Now my consolation Is in the stardust of a song ---

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it’s twilight time Out of the mist your voice is calling, 'tis twilight time When purple-colored curtains mark the end of day I’ll hear you, my dear, at twilight time Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun I count the moments darling till you’re here with me Together at last at twilight time ---

Just a song at twilight, when the lights are low; And the flick’ring shadows softly come and go. Tho’ the heart be weary, sad the day and long, Still to us at twilight comes love’s old song, Comes love’s old sweet song. ---

Love of mine, some day you will die But I’ll be close behind I’ll follow you into the dark No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white Just our hands clasped so tight Waiting for the hint of a spark If Heaven and Hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the “No”'s on their vacancy signs If there’s no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I’ll follow you into the dark ---
