[Lyric] Top: Thats crazy (Aaron Copland)

[TOP]

That's crazy!

Hoppin' the freight
After it's late
Sleepin' in a railroad crate
Is that how you see Laurie?

Livin' on the run
Burnin' in the sun
Wantin' food and havin' none

Is that how you see her?
Drifting around
Town after town
Worried 'cause your luck is down!

Is that how you see Laurie?
Think, Martin, think!
Our kind's no good for a girl like her
She don't fit with guys like us
She belongs in a soft white dress
Upon that graduation stand
With a mother and grandpa to make a fuss
That she gets that roll with the ribbon band

And look at you!
You're crazy!
Talkin' so big
Big when you talk
Walkin' down an endless road

Do what you must
Just what you do
Don't take on an extra load
What have you got?
What can you give?
What will you eat?
Where will you live?
Is that how you see Laurie?
You're a daft bird, Martin, with only one pair of wings
One pair fo wings that's got to fly south when it snows
And north when it's spring
Got to fly when the wind blows
And when the world sings
You can't change now, your ways is set
You gotta go on so you better forget
You got to walk in the wind
You got to walk in the wind
Got to fly in the weather
Got to walk in the wind
Got to fly in the weather
Got to walk in the wind
Got to fly in the weather!
(Top goes back to the shed and gets their bundles.)

C'mon hurry boy, day's acomin'
C'mon we've got no time...
Take it from me kid, and try to forget
Try to forget
Hurry! It'll soon be day


[MARTIN]
Laurie, Laurie, forgive me

(Top and Martin leave.)

[MARTIN] (from the distance)
Forgive me…
