The World's Fair
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Cross your gate and skip a beat
Ring your bell and cross the street
Will you come and take a peek
Who's there
Time will come suddenly
Change your life faithfully
Ride the wheel what will you see?
Is it me?
The worlds fair/anytime
Anytime you need
Roam the street, the people stare
Thru the gate we walk on air
As we stroll so/debonair
Arm in arm
Lights string out diamond keys
Water washes gentle things
Like washing hung to catch the breeze
From the west
The world's fair...
And if you know you'll never leave
And if you know you'll never know
And what you know can never be
More than me and you
Let it ride/let it roll
Hold my breath/lose control
The world's fair...
Stand in line and win a prize
Know yourself and get on by
Hold your hand up to the sky
For time
Sew my vote inside your coat
Comb the shadows for higher notes
Write to girls i never wrote
But keep in mind
The world's fair...
In the state of holding hands
We take our leave, leave no demand
And build our love into the land
For all/who come behind
Cross your gate and skip a beat
Close the door and cross the street
Will you come and take a peek
As i leave
Let it ride/let it roll
Hold my breath/lose control
