[Verse 1]
This is the voice of someone calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing, or those who never will
A long-legged someone is seen walking away from home

As average believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown
[Verse 3]
This is the voice of someone calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing, or those who never will
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Days will turn and turn
Which is what which we learn
As average believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown
