James

"Too young, too thoughtless," I said to myself
 With idealistic visions all perched on the shelf
 And I'm still hoping, waiting for you to come home
 May your snow capped mountains carry you far
 May they stand as protectors wherever you are
 May you stay safe and happy all of your days
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Maybe you're in love or hung up on another
 And maybe you found a far prettier lover
 And maybe you'll paint her a picture like you did for me
 You color your world with that Neverland smile
 But it goes dark in pieces every once in a while
 And on my birthday I told you, "Don't worry, there'll be other days"
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 I'll always be happy if you choose to call
 Or write me a letter sayin' all that you saw
 And how things have changed since our days there on Noxontown Pond
 No, don't be a stranger now, don't go too far
 And though you love places that have lots of stars
 Just know in the city, you'll always have a place to stay
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Oh, James
 Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
 Ooh-ooh-ooh
