Emersonlake & Palmer - The Sheriff lyrics

(Graham Russell)

When all else fails and you have nothing

You know you really should believe in something

Take a look at what you have

To a dream that's not all that bad

Don't waste time with all your thinking

Wake up now your dreams are sinking

Making the change is up to you

You'll accept nothing less than the best

(Chorus)

Come, come, come on

Bring out the magic

Come, come, come on

bring out the magic

It's much quicker than the eye

It's your mind and it's there all the time

Say good-bye this is tomorrow

Make your mind up not to follow

You can lead yourself away

Understand, you can have what you say

(Chorus)

You can lead yourself away

Understand, you can have what you say

You can stay with me now

And tell me what you know

You can stay with me now

And tell me all you know

(Chorus)

You can lead yourself away

Understand, you can have what you say

(Chorus to fade)
