Lyrics
Once in a while, every hundred years or so comes a man, a magic man, who lights the way to go
He will end your rainbow chase with a pocketful of grace
Oh such a toothsome catch to end your day
Still there's a reason for the pins and needles in your hands
And it's quite a late season to be waiting on such a man
See underneath stairs, growing there in the dirt, there's a sprout, lowly flower sprout and you bet it knows its worth
Still there's a reason for the pins and needles in your hands
And it's quite a late season to be waiting on such a man
doo doo doo doo doo doo etc...
