It took us four days to find this place

And three months to leave again

We had more time than money or sense

When we took the Germany train

And we sang that night in a doorway of light

Christ, it must have been a sight to see

Living life in three part harmony, harmony



Three o'clock and my throat was dry

When I first heard the lady sing

The rose in her hair was the price of a song

She wore it like a wedding ring

And I could hear her voice

In the cathedral square

Sometimes I hear it across the sea

And dream of life in three part harmony, harmony



She told me of all the places she'd seen

She'd love to see old London town

She thought it best to keep running away

Instead of turning round

You know the reason took two summers to tell

A child that died before it came to be

She never sang in three part harmony, harmony



Harmony, we're living in harmony

Harmony, we're living in harmony



Some people said, go back to your own

Some people begged us to stay

Everybody loved the songs

But nobody wanted to pay

There was a travelling man with a child on his back

So tired he could hardly see

He stopped and sang in three part harmony, harmony



It took five years of the young man's life

Raising horses he never could own

He said it's worth the going away

Just to know it's time to go home

He used to dream she'd wait for him

Then he faced reality

He stopped and sang in three part harmony, harmony



Harmony, we're living in harmony

Harmony, we're living in harmony
