The Four of Us - John Sebastian

Sitting round a fireplace

We drew a smile across the states

we packed our truck with all our stuff

and 4 of us

Two to drive and two to sleep

Wrapped up in a rainbow sheet

And in the front my love will keep me

on the road and laughing

On our way we met a man

with healer-boxer-sculptor's hands

We love hime cause he understands

the 4 of us

Time, time with him was time in school

Sitting in the backyard

Teaching from his box of rusty tools

And he could talk such magic at his clear-eyed 85

And just when you thought you got the picture

he’d show you the joke inside.

«Yeah», he said, «The joke’ss on you!»

«You don’t even know where you’re going to!»

Further south our truckstops ran

to see the singing dolphin man

and pancakes from a frying pan

for 4 of us

Somewhere there we got a brandnew scheme

Further south was islands

like the kind you see in dreams

So we left the truck and all or stuff

and skipped across the see

To emerald pools in paradise

for 4 of us
