Well, I'm lookin' the world over,
lookin' far off into the east,
and I see my baby comin',
she's walkin' with the village priest.
I feel a change comin' on,
and the last part of the day's already gone.
We got so much in common,
we strive for the same old ends,
and I just can't wait, wait for us to become friends.
I feel a change comin' on,
and the fourth part of the day's already gone.
Well, life is for love,
and they say that love is blind,
if you wanna live easy,
baby, pack your clothes with mine.
I feel a change comin' on,
and the fourth part of the day's already gone.
Well, now what's the use in dreaming, you got better things to do,
dreams never did work for me anyway, even when they did come true.
You are as porous as ever,
baby, you can start a fire,
I must be losing my mind, you're the object of my desire.
I feel a change comin' on,
and the fourth part of the day's already gone.
I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver, and I'm reading James Joyce,
some people they tell me I got the blood of the land in my voice.
Everybody got all the money,
everybody got all the beautiful clothes,
everybody got all the flowers,
I don't have one single rose.
I feel a change comin' on,
and the fourth part of the day's already gone.
