Round the Bend





I was a child lost in the northern plains

I was reckless, tryin' to throw my life away

I was too young for where I'd been

Tryin' to regain my innocence

Already lost my best friend

Off somewhere in Vietnam

I wasn't going to go look for him

My destiny, just around the bend





Come along this apparition

An enigma for my intuition

Told me hold on to what you said

You got song, and you're too classy

Hard as Canadian black ice

All over you, makin' you think twice

Y'already can

Our destiny just around the bend

Just around the bend



So come on, let's go to New York city

Play the night owl,it's a pity

Couldn't find him, so I headed west

Think everyone knows the rest

I found him on the Sunset Strip

Bad place to get a grip

Got a band of famous men

Next thing you know 

They took me round the bend 

round the bend



We got down on to some magic places

But the peoples around all had four faces

Couldn't stand such an honest heart

They couldn't wait to tear us apart

Early I didn't know

But the magic isn't odd you know

Don't need to be alone again

That's rockin', a roundin' at the bend 

Roundin' at the bend
