[Spoken intro]
This song is called "One Day I Slowly Floated Away"
[Verse 1]
One day I~
Slowly floated away
One day I~
Slowly floated away
It's got a lot of nerve coming here
When the harvest days are drawing near
It's got a lot of nerve coming here
When the harvest days are drawing near

[Chorus]

Wake up, and you will, too
Wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
And our house [? colored in white]
[Verse 2]
You say the city is gorgeous
And I'd say, "I miss the trees"
You say that I am glamorous
And I'd say, "you caught a disease"
"The city looks awful... pretty, dear
Let's move away, get out of here"
"The country is awful... smashing, dear
Let's settle down and disappear

[Chorus]
Wake up in the morning, I shall
Wake up, and you will, too
Wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
And our house [? colored in white]
[Organ solo]
[Bridge]
Perhaps some day I'll make children for you and
Perhaps they'll be oh so small
Perhaps their smiles will make shadows flee from the
Places they hide in our hearts
So
[Chorus]
Wake up in the morning, I shall
Wake up, and you will, too
Wake up, the sun is beautiful
And it is warming you and I
And our house [? colored in white]
[Outro]
A-huu~aah~
A-huu~aah~
Aah—(coughs) gosh
(Recording stops then starts again)
[Spoken]
This is "The Escaping Song". No—(recording ends suddenly)
