HEY YOU
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1980


Hey you upon this ship of fools
I have found you bending your own rules
Thank you I don't mind if I do
Dream a while of the lovin' that we knew.

There was such a flaming time I never will forget
It was all so easy then this is my one regret.

Hey you my angel in blue
Mother Nature saved her best for you
Green grow the lilacs on the wall
Heaven help them, catch them as they fall.

(bridge)

Hey you angel in disguise
What is your angle, what is your surprise
Hey you fever that is mine
What is your game plan, what is your design.

Reality brings mystery and ne'er the twain shall meet
And all of my wild horses cannot pull you off your feet.

Hey you angel on my mind
All around me 'til the end of time
Thank you I don't mind if I do
Dream a while of the lovin' that we knew.

There was such a flaming time I never will forget
It was all so easy then this is my one regret.

Hey you my angel in blue
I'm entangled tell me what to do
Green grow the lilacs on the wall
Heaven help them catch them as they fall.
