A Beautiful Story (LP / Single Version)

What's your name, is it Jane?

Would you mind sitting next to a silly old fool?

It's just that I'm tired of wasting my hours

Talking to trees, watching the flowers grow

Watching birds, chasing bees

Little boys scraping knees

Even my tears have all dried

Can I sit by your side?

Don't misunderstand me

I'm just an old man with no place to go

And if you oblige me and sit here beside me

I'll tell you a story, a beautiful story

That you might not know, please don't go

Pardon me, Mister Tree

I hope that I didn't offend you before

You are my friend but I wanted much more

Now I'm back once again

Just like always before

Watchin' birds chasin' bees

Little boys scrapin' knees

Even my tears have all dried

Can I sit by your side?

Don't misunderstand me

I'm just an old man with no place to go

If you oblige me and sit here beside me

I'll tell you a story, a beautiful story

That you might not know, please don't go
