Lyrics Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot

Make Way for the Lady

Some life I've been livin'

Like a song in the night

Good sounds every moment

Good news and bright lights

Anytime I get lonesome

I just got to do the things right

Make way for the lady

You can do it my son

Makin' hay with no gravy

Brings the good folk down

Anytime you get lonely

You just got to turn it around

This life I've been given

It don't tell you no lies

Could've been somewhat wasted

How could it be otherwise

When the sound of the laughter

Brought the tears into my eyes

Make way for the lady

You can do it my son

Makin' hay with no gravy

Gets the day's work done

When a blue mood gets rollin'

You just got to turn it around

Turn it around

Shake hands with the father

The son and the holy ghost

The impossible believers

And the heavenly host

If you must do it better

You just got to do it the most

Make way for the lady

You can do it my son

Makin' hay with no gravy

Brings all the good folk down

When a blue moon starts risin'

You just got to turn it around

Turn it around

Turn it around

Make way for the lady

Turn it around
