William Bailey

When I came on William Bailey he was running down the stairs

then the homefires now are burning and the chimney needs repairs

And I thought of something that I used to sing

Looking back and loving everything

And I'm sure the grown up faces were familiar to you then

Like the huneysuckle places I (??) on the wind

And the old man, he would let us drive his car

Running home and seeing my guitar

And I hope it made a difference and I hope I got it right

And I hope that I'll be good enough tonight

And I know it makes a difference, and I know it bloody should

And I know it when you let it get so good

Get so good, la, la la la, la la la la

If I trade in all my inocense and left you with the change

Well I never recall telling anyone to feel the same

But I know that if I'm coming out this year

That ain't gonna be much more than fear

And I hope it made a difference and I hope I got it right

And I hope that I'll be good enough tonight

And I know it makes a difference, and I know it bloody should

And I know it when you let it get so good

Get so good, la, la la la, la la la la
