Standing by the everyman
Digging the rigging on my sail
Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords
To the spell of a fairy tale
The heath was hung in magic mist
Enchanted dripping glades
I'll taste the taste until my mind
Drifts from this scene and fades
In the nighttime, in the nighttime

Crystals sparkling in the grass
I polish them with thought
On my lash there in my eye
A star of light is caught
Fortunes told in grains of sand
Here I am, that is all I know
Candy stuck in children's hair everywhere that I go
In the nighttime, in the nighttime

Well the gypsy, he's a clown of love
I paint his face a smile
Anyone that we ever made
We always made in style
Those strange young girls
With the radar screenings
Hands as quick as hate
Well I won't just now, later on, maybe
But even then, I could wait, I could wait
Better wait and see, better wait and see
I'm standing by the everyman
Digging the rigging on my sail
Rain fell to sounds of harpsichords
To the spell of a fairy tale
The heath was hung in magic mist
Enchanted dripping glades
I'll taste the taste until my mind
Drifts from this scene and fades
In the nighttime, in the nighttime
In the nighttime, fading away in the nighttime
