HAS NEVER BEEN RECORDED
 
VERSE1
Well Ive all sorts of books
But I dont even look at a one
They sit on their shelves
Reading themselves one by one
And I dont know why I should try
to find a place of my own
 
VERSE2
When I cant under stand
The emotions of living alone
Cynthias grown but I think
That shes known all along
That Im much too old
Thats why Ive told her so long
 
VERSE3
But with each day I find
Im changing my mind
My resistance keeps breaking down
And it wont be much more
Before I need her around

But they make a pretty good car
And Ive thought of leaving when Im feeling down
But New York is so very far
And New York is not where you are

And weighs down the loads -especially mine
And Id like to be happy and free
With a smile instead of frown
