[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
