[00:00.04]
[00:13.26] I heard it in the wind last night
[00:15.81]
[00:16.60] It sounded like applause
[00:19.03] Did you get a round resounding for you
[00:21.81] Way up here
[00:22.88]
[00:24.56] It seems like many dim years ago
[00:27.39]
[00:28.19] Since I heard that face to face
[00:30.31] Or seen you face to face
[00:32.60] Though tonight I can feel you here
[00:35.09]
[00:36.28] I get these notes
[00:37.68] On butterflies and lilac sprays
[00:41.08] From girls who just have to tell me
[00:44.56]
[00:46.21] They saw you somewhere
[00:50.24]
[00:57.07] In some office sits a poet
[00:59.26] And he trembles as he sings
[01:02.15] And he asks some guy
[01:03.74] To circulate his soul around
[01:07.90]
[01:08.52] On your mark red ribbon runner
[01:11.23]
[01:11.94] The caressing rev of motors
[01:13.86] Finely tuned like fancy women
[01:16.14] In thirties evening gowns
[01:19.36]
[01:20.16] Up the charts
[01:21.29] Off to the airport
[01:22.99] Your name's in the news
[01:24.31] Everything's first class
[01:26.42]
[01:27.15] The lights go down
[01:28.34] And it's just you up there
[01:30.77]
[01:31.59] Getting them to feel like that
[01:35.34]
[01:40.38] Remember the days when you used to sit
[01:43.30] And make up your tunes for love
[01:45.93] And pour your simple sorrow
[01:48.25] To the soundhole and your knee
[01:51.20]
[01:51.92] And now you're seen
[01:53.41] On giant screens
[01:55.13]
[01:55.71] And at parties for the press
[01:58.03] And for people who have slices of you
[02:00.33] From the company
[02:01.89]
[02:03.54] They toss around your latest golden egg
[02:06.48] Speculation well who's to know
[02:09.11]
[02:09.87] If the next one in the nest
[02:11.95]
[02:12.88] Will glitter for them so
[02:18.75]
[02:23.98] I guess I seem ungrateful
[02:25.92] With my teeth sunk in the hand
[02:29.34] That brings me things
[02:31.03] I really can't give up just yet
[02:33.72]
[02:35.87] Now I sit up here
[02:37.29] The critic
[02:38.05]
[02:38.72] And they introduce some band
[02:40.53] But they seem so much confetti
[02:42.83] Looking at them on my tv set
[02:45.35]
[02:46.96] Oh the power and the glory
[02:49.22] Just when you're getting a taste for worship
[02:51.79] They start bringing out the hammers
[02:55.82]
[02:57.17] And the boards
[02:58.17] And the nails
[03:00.39]
[03:07.63] I heard it in the wind last night
[03:09.95]
[03:10.95] It sounded like applause
[03:12.64]
[03:13.45] Chilly now
[03:14.40] End of summer
[03:15.37] No more shiny hot nights
[03:17.87]
[03:18.93] It was just the arbutus rustling
[03:21.16]
[03:22.25] And the bumping of the logs
[03:24.30] And the moon swept down black water
[03:27.09] Like an empty spotlight
