Lyrics
The radio out of Buffalo Under sultry starry nights When summer seemed a million years I could see no end in sight. Now I squint at the moon And I cough out of tune Til my eyes are brought to tear. And I listen intent With a back slightly bent And a hand cupped round one ear And I’m failing, that is clear. [Break] Still looking for the four leaf clover. Some day I’ll turn the rainbow over And catch the gold. I’m going to plant a magic bean And climb a beanstalk to the queen. She’s my first love We’re both fifteen And I know we’ll be together For the rest of your lives. I’m longer in tooth In pursuit of the truth If such a thing should ever be. The material world is losing it’s weight On the scales of mystery. So I rock in my chair And I feel no despair Cause I’ve overcome my fear. And still try my best And I joke and I jest Though I’ll soon be out of here Cause I'm failing year by year. (by Ralph Atkinson and Chas Holman)

Great song, lyric, performances, and production! 5's all around....after reading Steve Gilmore's Rebel review I just had to give it a listen and I'm glad I did. The lyric hits home with everything else backing them up to make an impact on seasoned folk such as I. Thanksk for sharing a great song! Farrell Jackson
