Wond'ring Aloud (letra - canção do álbum Aqualung, 1971)Wond'ring aloud how we feel todayLast night sipped the sunset, my hands in her hairWe are our own savioursAs we start both our hearts beating life into each other
Wond'ring aloud will the years treat us wellAs she floats in the kitchenI'm tasting the smell of toast as the butter runsThen she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed and I shake my head
And it's only the giving that makes you what you are

Life Is A Long Song (letra- canção do álbum Living in the Past, 1972)When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new dayAnd you hear your voice croak as you chokeOn what you need to sayWell, don't you fret, don't you fear, I will give you good cheerLife's a long song, life's a long song, life's a long songIf you wait then your plate I will fill
As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long dayAnd the twelve o'clock gloom spins the roomYou struggle on your wayWell, don't you sigh, don't you cry, lick the dust from your eyeWe'll meet in the sweet light of dawn
As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dressAnd the symphony sounds underground puts you under duressWell, don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheelsLife's a long song, life's a long song, life's a long songBut the tune ends too soon for us all
