 Well, I tried,  and I tried,
 But the river  seems so wide.
 And my head hurts  and my hands are tied.
 And it's so... hard,
 When you're standing  on the yard,
 Every time  that your number  comes a-round.
 Call me up in Dreamland,  radio to me  man.
 Get the message to  me, anyway you can.
 Well, let your river roll,  a-way down in your soul,
 Never to grow old... on  the saxo-phone.
 From the airport,  to the plane,
 A-way  to the railroad trains.
 Why can't we take  it from the top,
 And start all over  again?
 Everytime you hear  that whistle blow,
 You know  you gotta put  on your show;
 Every time  your number  comes a-round.
 Call me up in Dreamland,  radio to me  man.
 Get the message to  me, anyway you can.
 Well, let your river roll,  a-way down in your soul,
 Never to grow old... on  the saxo-phone.
 From the car,  to the bar;
 Or why  don't you pour it in a jar?
 An put a label  on it,
 And send  it off to the lost and found.
 You've gotta get  it in your brain,
 But be-fore  you go in-sane;
 Every time  your number  comes a-round.  (Here it comes);
 Call me up in Dreamland,  radio to me  man.
 Get the message to  me, anyway you can.
 Well, let your river roll,  a-way down in your soul,
 Never to grow old... on  the saxo-phone.
 Never to grow old... on  the saxo-phone.
 Never to grow old... on  the saxo-pho...ne.
 (Lord have mercy!)
