00:00Catherine Wheel is hard to capture, she's forever spinning round.
00:10Catherine Wheel needs me to love her, needs pinning down.
00:20Colors she comes in, shadows she suns in, pathways she runs in, of her own.
00:41Catherine Wheel is hard to capture, she's forever spinning round.
00:51Catherine Wheel needs me to love her, needs pinning down.
01:02Catherine Wheel is hard to capture, she's forever spinning round.
01:23Whirlpools surprise me, sparks hypnotise me, and still she ties me to her stone.

01:53Catherine Wheel needs me to love her, needs pinning down.
02:13Late Saturday night, walking home into the light.
02:28Bumped into the man who cleans the telescopes.
02:34That's when I said, hello there, said you were dead.
02:40And he grinned, and the wind blew his face away.
02:45Horror slopes from another page, another page.
02:51Ah, I could write a book.
02:55That's after all he Earned as a
04:21I looked around with my face close to the ground
04:25On the slide down the side of the morning hill
04:31Archmen unfurled, took a notch, bent to the world
04:37Stars are crossed, feeling lost
04:40In the evening pink dawning quill
04:44From another age, another page
04:48Ah, I could write a book
04:52I could write a book
04:58I could write a book
05:04I could write a book
05:14I'm looking at the moon
05:33I'm wishing
05:37And will-o'-wisps of thought
05:43Are tangled in its light
05:47Yes, I'm looking at the moon
05:50And wishing
05:53A February face
05:57A February face
06:01A February face
06:04In its February place
06:07Ain't smiling

06:12Now
06:14There ain't time enough to take
06:33My time
06:37For cruelly crushing sight
06:43She's looming darkly bright
06:47There ain't time enough to take
06:50My time
06:52My time
06:53For a February face

07:50Love in the afternoon
08:06Beyond the blue glass square
08:10Distant children shout
08:13Somewhere
08:14Somewhere
08:15Out there
08:18In the afternoon
08:21In the afternoon
08:21Love
08:29In the afternoon
08:32A thousand secrets bear
08:36In the sun and wine
08:39Kissed air
08:41Share love
08:43Share love
08:44In the afternoon
08:47And as the flowers
08:58Are full within

09:05To hold within
09:07Your time
09:09Your time
09:09Your time
09:12Out there
09:12And as the stars

09:15I'm dying
09:15I'm dying
09:16I'm dying
09:16I'm dying
09:17Very soon
09:36The blue glass square is dim
09:40And in evenings cool
09:43Quiet gym
09:45You begin
09:48To find your end
09:51The afternoon of love
10:15To be continued
10:17To be continued
10:49Winter in Boston, they're watching TVs with frost on, and skis you bet your leg am lost on, and some old girls with metal curls are buying free.
11:19Frozen rice there, they don't think tea is too nice there.
11:30I think they serve it hot with ice, there I wouldn't know, I never go when there's snow.
12:00I think they serve it hot with ice, there I wouldn't know, I never go when there's snow.
12:07I think they serve it hot with ice, there I wouldn't know, I never go when there's snow.
12:12I think they serve it hot with ice, there I wouldn't know.
12:19There's a morning train calling on the track.
12:38And the morning rain falling on my back.
12:48But I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
12:57I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
13:07And it never rains, in my morning sky.
13:18I just tie the rains, I just tie the rains, watch the plains go by.
13:28I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
13:35I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
13:40I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
13:47I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
14:12There's a loneliness, in the way I write.
14:22But gold bars shine, on my sunset side.
14:31Cause I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
14:41I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
14:48I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
14:54I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
14:55I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
15:01I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
15:02I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
15:08I'm a caravan, car-a-caravan.
15:09I'm a caravan, caravan.
15:10I'm a caravan, caravan.
15:15Carri-Carri-Man
15:25Down morning dears
15:43Summer's end and the gang's gone home
15:47Summer's spring's far away and I'm on my own
15:52Down morning dears
15:56Wandering in from the leaf-lined lanes
16:01Early autumn sun through the dusty veins
16:06Down morning dears
16:10Down morning dears
16:14Sitting at the counter
16:21Reading my Hemingway
16:25Can't get him together
16:29Must be too quiet today
16:33Down morning dears
16:46Sea sounds trapped in seashell ears
16:51Left tapped in far too many beers
16:56Down morning dears
17:00Down morning dears
17:04Guess I write a poem
17:11Maybe a nursery rhyme
17:16Maybe I forget it
17:20Guess I got too much time
17:24Summer's end and the gang's gone home
17:38Summer's spring's far away and I'm on my own
17:43Down morning dears
17:50Down morning dears
17:53Mourn dears
17:55Down morning dears

20:57Mermaid murmur of the mysteries below the sea
21:02Ancient warriors speak sadly of heroic friends that fell
21:08How I wish I had a tale to tell
21:13Tale to tell
21:16I can remember strains of music heard
21:22But it seems absurd trying to communicate them
21:28And all the wonders of a single bird
21:34How to find the word when you're dying to relate them
21:40How can we tell them our children what to learn
21:48Our leaders which to spurn who will love and who will rape them
21:55Our sad corrections we breed our young to burn
22:00Which directions turn their minds to escape them
22:07Sailors sing of silver sands and distant lands to me
22:16Mermaid's murmur of the mysteries below the sea
22:22Ancient warriors speak sadly of heroic friends that fell
22:28How I wish I had a tale to tell
22:33Tale to tell
22:36Sailors sing of silver sands and distant lands to me
22:43Mermaid's murmur of the mysteries below the sea
23:02Sailors sing of silver sands and distant lands to me
23:04Mermaid's murmur of the mysteries below the sea
23:11Mermaid's murmur of the mysteries below the sea
23:13Ancient warriors speak sadly of heroic friends that fell
23:19How I wish I had a tale to tell
23:24Tale to tell
23:27Just wanted you to tell
23:34The End
24:04The End
24:34One more flight to Parker
24:43Gone, gone, gone
24:49Mary, Mary, am I coming home?
24:56Is the time of seeing here again?
25:04There's a lady asking through the wall
25:09Am I coming now or catching rain?
25:13One more flight to Parker
25:20Gone, gone, gone
25:26One more flight to Parker
25:32Gone, gone, gone
25:38I'm filled with coffee up to here
25:54But if you'd cried a tear or two
26:00I guess I'd be near to you
26:06Home and dried and dear to you
26:12One more flight to Parker
26:18Going, going, gone
26:24One more flight to Parker
26:30Gone, gone, gone
26:37Gone, gone
26:42Gone
26:43We're gonna rise and shine you
26:53At the silver slipper
26:56We're gonna whine and dine you
27:01At the silver slipper
27:04Take a seat and watch the stripper
27:10You're gonna go home so much hipper
27:14Bring your friends and get nice
27:19To the silver slipper
27:31To the silver slipper
27:34Come on
27:35To the silver slipper
27:38Come on
27:40To the Silver Slipper, come on, to the Silver Slipper, come on, come on, to the Silver Slipper, come on, come on.
27:55We're gonna take the gold from out your teeth.
28:03If you get high and die, we're by the reef.
28:10We patronize the weekend tripper, idolize the bigger tipper, bring your friends and get nice.
28:27If there's a better club in town, tell us we're burning down.
28:35Why not give our roulette wheel a spin?
28:40If you should forget yourself and win before you take our money through our door.
28:48We know you'd like to play a little more because our staff have nailed your feet to the floor.
28:56Sir, come on, come on, to the Silver Slipper, come on, to the Silver Slipper, come on, come on.
29:15To the Silver Slipper, come on, to the Silver Slipper, come on, come on.
29:32To the Silver Slipper
29:37Come on to the Silver Slipper
29:41Come, come on to the Silver Slipper
29:55How about the day we lost our way
30:00It seemed to rain forever
30:07A sea of never, never
30:15How about then
30:23I can still recall
30:29The afternoons
30:32The rivers and the roses
30:38The ice cream on our noses
30:47How about then
30:55Quiet hotels
31:00Aggressing in the moonlight
31:04Quiet hotels
31:08Seven Silver Slipper
31:11Seven Silver Slipper
31:13The sounds and smells
31:16The guns and the bells
31:20The heavens of truth
31:24And the hells of lying
31:28And how about the day
31:42Every day you said goodbye
31:48I wake each morning crying
31:55And one day
31:57And one day I'll be dying
32:00How about then
32:09And two days
32:12Things without fleeting
32:12May life
32:12Can be the die
32:12Things without
32:15Nothing without
