lyrics

my mother said to me: you don't know what you're doing, boy
my father confessed: i don't know what you're doing, boy
my brother complained to me: i don't know what i'm doing here
but my lover whispered sweet: i love what you're doing

& it's gonna be a hard landing tonight
just you wait & see
everything's gonna turn out all right

my friend charlie said a poet is like an albatross
who glides above the waves that men so roughly toss
but bring it to the deck & it might as well be lame
my friend charlie said: i don't want to play their game

yeah, it's gonna be a hard landing tonight
but just you wait & see, chuck
everything's gonna turn out all right

just you dream aloft
all those dying thoughts
just take to the air
you're no longer there

you know i dream at night about hank, babe & cobb
my good friends dimaggio & beara, boys, we're gonna rob
that other team of dreamers of their joy tonight
just step up to the plate & knock that pitch right out of sight

& it's gonna be a hard landing tonight
just you wait & see
everything's gonna turn out all right
