The Bubble Man

Early Sunday morning I was walking down the pier
Talking to myself again, trying to get things clear
I saw the old man blowing bubbles by Ezekiel's carousel
The children hadn't gathered yet, but I was waiting I could tell
He said, "I love to watch the children
Chase the bubbles that I blow
It helps me keep a promise
I made a long long time ago
I'm gonna love this world the best I can
Then leave the rest in grace's hands

Gorgie on the boardwalk in another rent
Shouting it's all over and it's all to late to save
Preaching to some seagulls and to the rising sun
Preaching so much sorrow and the world had just begun
And I was thinking maybe Gorgie's not so very wrong
Then I heard the bubble man singing
And I had to sing along
I'm gonna love this world the best I can
Then leave the rest in grace's hands

On my way back homeward feeling kinda strange
Everything is different now but nothing really changed
Passing all the laughing children chazing bubbles in the sky
The old man saw me waving
But he did not wave goog-bye
He blow a giant bubble and smiled at what he done
And all of us were spellbound
As it floated to the sun
I'm gonna love this world the best I can
Then leave the rest in grace's hands
