KEEPIN' ON YEARNIN'
(Gordon Lightfoot)

As recorded Gordon Lighfoot 1999


Keepin' on smokin', gotta keep on jokin'
Keepin' on moving around
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no one's ever found.

Feelin' kind of lonely on the telephone
Today I must keep moving on
Leavin' everything I know I really need
And so I guess I'll move along.

It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all.

(bridge)

Keepin' on yearnin', keepin' on learnin'
Lord I keep turnin' it on
Leavin' everything I know I really love
And so I guess I'll move along.

It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldn't mind at all.

(bridge)

Keepin' on smokin', gotta keep on jokin'
Keep on movin' around
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no one's ever found.

It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all.

(bridge)

Keepin' on yearnin', gotta keep on learnin'
Gotta keep turnin' it on
Leavin' everything I know I really love
And so I guess I'll move along.

It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldn't mind at all.
