"Joe Harper Saturday Morning" lyrics

When you thought I was a stranger
When you looked upon me, when I came back
But to take you from disaster
I cannot master the four winds in your shack
In the roamin', in the gloamin'
You have brought and set before me
And I think that it's an omen
I'm just not what so many people see

You shined your glory all around
Did not disguise what we did
I asked you for half a pound and you said
"Go see Joe Harper Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper Saturday morning, kid"

And the child held the ball
In the garden with the old queen
And you kissed her lips and heart
Another stranger, you know what I mean
And you walked down the streets so lonely
In your own childish way
And you thought that you would only, ha
Do it for today

And you shined your glory all around
Did not disguise what we did
I asked you for half a pound and you said
"Go see Joe Harper Saturday morning, kid
Go see Joe Harper Saturday morning, kid"
