Al Stewart - Samuel, Oh How You've Changed lyrics

Most of the better bred Woollen toys have gone to bed And the teddy bear is a-sleeping in the cupboard And the wooden soldiers all And the rubber bouncing ball Are list'ning to the tales of mother Hubbard But the fairy lights are dark On the Christmas tree as restlessly I stand here forgotten and alone I've been too long on the floor, I can't stay here any more So Jenny won't you please take me home. Oh the statues that I see Are made out of blackest ivory But I pa** them by never guessing of their meaning And a million voices cry As I walk across the sky Though it's restless here, why it's only in-betweening For the journey that I'm on Is incomplete so to my feet I must rise now and travel on alone Ah, but if you've got some time to spend In between now and the end Oh Jenny won't you please take me home. Now almost every word that I've said that you have heard Hides another thought left unspoken And if I may not reach it through the gutter of my speech Then it best be left unsaid than lie unbroken And if you wish to see, then from time to time Look in my eyes Oh the gold is not far beneath the stone If that will not say, it doesn't matter anyway Jenny won't you please take me home.
