“Too young, too thoughtless,” I said to myself With realistic visions all perched on the shelf ‘Cause 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 Maybe you found a far prettier lover 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
I’ll always be happy if you choose to call Or write me a letter saying all that you saw and How things have changed since our days there on Noxontown Pond
No don’t be a stranger, no 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
