I'LL TAG ALONG
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lightfoot 1986


You've got time enough for two of us
What is mine I will share
We've got things that we can do without
Most anytime anywhere
Every little daydream that appears in all we do
Gives us some problems of our own
If you turn back to that page again
And you can't win  
If you ask me I'll tag along.

Paper matches in the afternoon
Cups of tea and all of that Zen
I think it's time we took a walk outside
It seems there is no oxygen
This time tomorrow we might all be packed and gone
I believe it's best we carry on
Smoke rings rising 'til they disappear
In the sky above
If you ask me I'll tag along.

Each and every bad dream will be hammered into dust
When we get back where we belong
If you ever turn that page again
And you need a friend
If you ask me I'll tag along.

This time tomorrow we might all be packed and gone
I believe it's best we carry on
Smoke rings rising 'til they disappear
The sky above
If you ask me I'll tag along.
