[00:08.98]	I am a poor wayfaring stranger
[00:15.97]
[00:18.77]	Traveling through all these highs and lows
[00:28.28]
[00:29.34]	I heard there was no sickness
[00:33.29]
[00:33.87]	And no toil or danger
[00:38.79]
[00:39.37]	Just mercy and plenty
[00:44.56]	Where peaceful waters flow
[00:47.23]	Where peaceful waters flow
[00:54.60]
[01:06.18]	Come all you fair and tender school girls
[01:15.14]
[01:16.78]	Be careful now when you court young men
[01:26.69]
[01:27.59]	They are like the stars
[01:32.06]	On a summer morning
[01:37.23]
[01:38.02]	They sparkle up the night
[01:42.27]
[01:43.50]	And they’re gone again
[01:45.18]
[01:45.72]	Daybreak gone again
[01:55.99]
[02:04.74]	If I’d only seen through the silky veils of ardor
[02:16.33]
[02:17.18]	What a killing crime this love can be
[02:24.37]
[02:25.59]	I would have locked up my heart
[02:29.76]
[02:30.71]	In a golden sheath of armor
[02:35.78]	And kept its crazy beating
[02:40.54]
[02:41.44]	Under strictest secrecy
[02:43.77]
[02:44.36]	High security
[02:53.81]
[03:03.30]	I wish I had the wings
[03:06.91]
[03:07.76]	Of Noah’s pretty little white dove
[03:13.41]	So I could fly this raging river
[03:19.17]
[03:20.83]	To reach the one I love
[03:24.34]
[03:24.86]	But I have no wings
[03:28.63]
[03:29.22]	And the water is so wide
[03:33.58]
[03:35.29]	We’ll have to row a little harder
[03:37.71]
[03:40.53]	It’s just in dreams we fly
[03:42.45]
[03:43.19]	In my dreams we fly

[00:08.98]	I am a poor wayfaring stranger
[00:15.97]
[00:18.77]	Traveling through all these highs and lows
[00:28.28]
[00:29.34]	I heard there was no sickness
[00:33.29]
[00:33.87]	And no toil or danger
[00:38.79]
[00:39.37]	Just mercy and plenty
[00:44.56]	Where peaceful waters flow
[00:47.23]	Where peaceful waters flow
[00:54.60]
