Joe Harper Saturday Morning

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
And you shined your glory all around
Do not disguise what you 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".

2. And the child held a ball in the garden
With the old queen
When ya kissed the lips and heart, another stranger
You know what I mean.

And you walked on the streets so lonely
In your own childish way
And you thought that you would only, ha
Do it for today.

[Chorus]

3. And just stood outside the club and the rain came down
On his head and he got all soakin' wet
He said, "Go for yourself", I said, "I know"
Show Joe, I ain't conquered yet.

And I walk away from the backstreet in the rain and I saw
How many times have I died
Then we turned on outside of the bus shelter
And I jumped on and said goodbye.

[Chorus]
