lyrics

He’s smiling now, dreaming
A practical man, his eyes are here
But that’s not where they’re looking

He’s heard the whisper of tomorrow
Future secrets in the wind
Never knowing, he will follow
No matter what they bring

Her eyes, they look at him all day
From many-splendoured things
And anything you do or say
Is everything he sings

And if it rains on his parade
Stepping on the cats and poodles
He will sing the rain-god’s chorus
Until the clouds should fade

* Like a tall man on a hill
He’s trying
To look into another day
The sunset holds its secrets
But still he’s flying…

He’s the king, the royal man
In happy anarchy
His kingdom built around her smile
A simple man is he

He’s talking now, to people
His words are not so very clear
Misty syllables, not crippled -
That’s only when she’s near

He’s heard the whisper of tomorrow
Future secrets in the wind
Never knowing, he will follow
No matter what they bring

He’s walking now, to somewhere
Of all that he surveys
A minor monarch singing
A major key ballet

And if it rains on his parade
Stepping on the cats and poodles
He will sing the rain-god’s chorus
Until the clouds should fade

*
