Papa come back
Mama be lovely
Brother be my big one
Like you used to be
Life seemed to be so easy
Today I know I was wrong
Now I decided to cease
Writing any more sad songs
Once I met a friend
I told him I was in town
So we went to the circus
And he played the clown
When the show was over
My friend was gone
Felt like attending a funeral
So I went on the run
Time's been changing
Life's been changing time
Everybody's doing their thing
Now I do mine
Now all my friends been scattered
There only four out of twelve (left)
One good thing 'bout being lonely
Is that you find yourself
Repair a big old house
Break with the past
There's a new fire burning
Trying to make it last
Run a garden
Sow a seed of time
Watch it grow
And reap peace of mind
I don't believe in rules anymore
'Cause they haven't been made for me
Stopped searching 'cause
There's too much I would not see
Can't change the world
But my own point of view
I keep on dreaming
'Cause there is more than one truth
Papa come back
Mama be lovely
Brother be my big one
Like you used to be
