F C G C F
Beside the braes of dawn one clear new morning
C
Down where the lilies stood in bloom
F C G C F
I knew that I was just a stranger in this world
G C
A wind just passing through
F C G C F
So we dared to stray in these golden ways
C
We never, never knew what to do

And the world kept coming, screaming all it's news at me
G C
Well, now I've got news for you
CHORUS 1:

You can walk out on the crowd

It's all glitz and sparkle down on the dancing floor

No, nothing's all that it seems in the strands and the weaves

Our steps renewed, our lips confess

Down on the road to happiness
