Getting the sheet readyPip is finding the first note.

Many's the time I've been mistaken I and have a many times confused.

I Yes, and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused.

Oh, but it's I'm alright, I'm alright,

I'm just weary to my bones.

Still, you don't expect to be bright and bonvivant so far away from home,

so far away from home.

I don't know a soul who's not been battered,

I don't have a friend who feels at ease.

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees.

Oh, but it's alright, right, it's alright,

for we lived so well so long.

Still, you when I think of the road we're trav'lin on,

I wonder what's gone wrong, so far away from home.

I don't know a

I can't help it, I wonder

what's gone wrong.

And I dreamed I was dying,

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly,

and looking back down at me,

smiled reassuringly.

And I dreamed I was flying,

and high up above my eyes could clearly see the Statue of Liberty sailing away to sea,

and I dreamed I was flying.

We come on the other working day,

and I'm trying to get some rest.

That's all I'm trying to get some rest.
