Out Of The Blue

Sun is shinin' in the sky,
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped rainin'
Everybody's in a play
And don't you know
It's a beautiful new day.

Runnin' down the avenue,
See how the sun shines brightly
In the city on the streets
Where once was pity,
Mr. blue sky is living here today.

Chorus
Mr. blue sky, please tell us why,
You had to hide away
For so long where did we go wrong.

Hey there mr. blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do,
Everybody smiles at you.

Hey you with the pretty face,
Welcome to the human race
A celebration mr. blue sky's
Up there waitin' and today
Is the day we've waited for

Chorus:repeat

Mr. blue you did it right,
But soon comes mr. night,
Creepin' over, now his
Hand is on your shoulder,
Never mind i'll remember you this way.

Chorus:repeat

Instrumental with some words...


Can you hear me?
Ahhhhhh, something, something!

Believe me now,
I could never say goodbye,
Don't leave me now,
Believe me now.

Where did you go?

I was searchin' searchin' on a one-way street,
I was hopin' hopin' for a chance to meet.
I was waitin' for the operator on the line.

She's gone so long what can i do?
Where could she be? no no no,
Don't know what i'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

You gotta slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin' run run you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I was walkin' many days go by,
I was thinkin' thinkin' 'bout the lonely nights.
Communication breakdown all around.

She's gone so long what can i do?
Where could she be? no no no,
Don't know what i'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

You gotta slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin' run run you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

I've been livin' livin' on a dead end street,
I've been askin' askin' kindly everybody i meet.
Insufficient data coming through.

She's gone so long what can i do?
Where could she be? no no no,
Don't know what i'm gonna do,
I gotta get back to you.

Oh, slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin' run run you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

Slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over.

Slow down slow down sweet talkin' woman slow down
You got me runnin', you got me searchin'.
Hold on hold on sweet talkin' lover hold on
It's so sad if that's the way it's over. (repeat & fade out)

The city streets are empty now the lights don't shine no more
And so the songs are way down low turning turning turning
A sound that flows into my mind the echoes of the daylight
Of everything that is alive in my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, i can't go on.

The dying embers of the night a fire that slowly fades till dawn
Still glow upon the wall so bright burning burning burning
The tired streets that hide away from here to everywhere they go
Roll past my door into the day in my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, i can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.

Yes, i'm turnin' to stone 'cos you ain't comin' home.
Why you ain't comin' home if i'm turnin' to stone?
You've been gone for so long and i can't carry on,
Yes, i'm turnin', i'm turnin', i'm turnin' to stone.

The dancing shadows on the wall the two-step in the hall
Are all i see since you've been gone turning turning turning
Through all i sit here and i wait i turn to stone i turn to stone
You will return again some day to my blue world

I turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, i can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.

I turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.
Turn to stone when you comin' home, i can't go on.
Turn to stone when you are gone, i turn to stone.

I've been workin' so hard, baby,
Tryin' to get to you.
I'm gonna be there soon because

In the heat of the day many miles away
When the sun is beating down upon the main street
I'll be waiting here at the station,
I gotta move down the line.
They'll be dancin' and singin' and doin' their thing
And they'll be rockin' and rollin' until the day is done.
You know i got to make the deadline.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If i don't get to the border then i'll write.

The mardi gras will be blowing strong
And the people dancing all across the city.
I'm leaving here tonight,
I gotta move down the line.
I'm gonna catch a ride on the nine-o-five,
I'm gonna ride the rail until we reach the morning,
Maybe three or four hundred miles.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If i don't get to the border then i'll write.

When the wind is blowing softly
Through the streets of a little town and the music's playin
You're waiting somewhere over the horizon.

I gotta get that southbound train tonight, ooh.
If i don't get to the border then i'll write.

Pack up all your things
We're gonna be leaving
Sooner than i thought
Take the things you bought
Clouds are gathering.

Say goodbye to all your friends
We're gonna be sorry
For a while, that's how it goes
But then again, who knows
About the rain.

Chorus:
I'm steppin' out
I'm moving on
I'm gonna see the world
Like a rolling stone
I'm gonna be somebody...
Oh, i'm steppin' out.

Did you hear what he said?
He said they sold me down the river
They thought i was a fool
They said the rain would fall
What did they know?

Then i saw your face
And the song that you were singing
Though i thought i knew the words
The tune was quite absurd and out of key
Doo dah dah dee.

Repeat chorus

I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out, i'm steppin' out
Steppin' out, steppin' out, steppin' out.

Don't know where i'm going
Gonna see the world, gonna be somebody
Don't know where i'm going
I'm just steppin' out
I'm steppin' out
I'm steppin' out.

Wish i was, yeah, a wild west hero.

Sometimes i look up high and then i think there might
Just be a better life.
Away from all we know, that's where i wanna go,
Out on the wild side
And i wish i was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
Be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I'd be the indians friend, let them live to be free,
Ridin' into the sunset, i wish i could be.

I'd ride the desert sands and through the prairie lands,
Try'n to do what's right.
The folks would come to me, they'd say, we need you here.
I'd stay there for the night.
Oh, i wish i was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.

Ride the range all the day till the first fading light,
Be with my western girl round the fire, oh, so bright.
I'd be the indians friend, let them live to be free,
Ridin' into the sunset, i wish i could be.

Oh, i wish i was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, i wish i was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, i wish i was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Oh, i wish i was, o-oo-o-oh, a wild west hero.
Wish i was, o-o-oo-o-o-o-oo, a wild west hero.

Working on the road across this great big world
I've been rolling like a stone, i never get back home
Yes, i've been long-gone
And boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Been across the ocean to the south sea isles
Yeah, i travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles
And i've been long-gone
And boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Chorus:
Across the world i've seen
People and places
Could be the same
But with a different name.

I wouldn't change the things i do for anything
But i'd just like to hear the message of the streets again
Give me a ticket
Cause boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet
Industrial revolution put it on its feet
But it's a long, long way
Boy, i've got the birmingham blues.

Repeat chorus

I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks i meet
They'll say "you won't stay long, you got them travelling feet
You'll soon be long-gone
'cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus
