Early Mornin' Rain (Words & music: Gordon Lightfoot) In the early mornin' rain With a dollar in my hand And an achin' in my heart And my pockets full of sand I'm a long ways from home And I miss my loved one so In the early mornin' rain With no place to go. Out on runway number nine Big 707 set to go Well, I'm out here on the grass Where the pavement never grows Where the liquor tasted good And the women all were fast There she goes, my friend She's rollin' out at last. Hear the mighty engines roar See the silver wing on high She's away and westward bound For above the clouds she'll fly Where the mornin' rain don't fall And the sun always shines She'll be flyin' over my home In about three hours time. This ol' airport's got me down It's no earthly good to me 'Cause I'm stuck here on the ground Cold and drunk as I might be Can't jump a jet plane Like you can a freight train So I best be on my way In the early mornin' rain So I best be on my way In the early mornin' rain So I best be on my way In the early mornin' rain.

The letters you wrote I treasure them so And I hear your voice Wherever I go Echoes of love Echoes of love Are coming to me Out of the past. In the rustle of a breeze In the patter of the rain In the rushing of the sea All I hear is your name. Come back my love And once you are near Darling, I know No more will I hear Echoes of love Echoes of love 'Cause you'll be with me Right in my arms Echoes of love Echoes of love 'Cause you'll be with me Right in my arms. Recorded: 1963/05/26, first released on Kissin' Cousins, March 1964 Edge Of Reality (Words & music: Bill Giant / Bernie Baum / Florence Kaye) I walk along a thin line, darling Dark shadows follow me Here's where life's dream Lies disillusioned The edge of reality. Oh, I can hear strange voices echo Laughing with mockery The border line of doom I'm facing The edge of reality. On the edge of reality She sits there tormenting me The girl with the nameless name On the edge of reality Where she overpowers me With fears that I can't explain. She drove me to the point of madness The brink of misery If she's not real Then I'm condemned to The edge of reality. On the edge of reality She sits there tormenting me The girl with the nameless name On the edge of reality Where she overpowers me With fears that I can't explain. She drove me to the point of madness The brink of misery If she's not real Then I'm condemned to The edge of reality. Reality, reality, reality, reality Reality, reality, reality, reality. Recorded: 1968/03/07, first released on single, November 1968 El Toro (Words & music: Bill Giant / Bernie Baum / Florence Kaye) There's a legend of a famous matador Who went to meet El Toro Though he fought as he had never done before He could not beat El Toro The bull El Toro Brought him defeat and pain And to his sorrow The matador knew shame. They said time would never heal the many scars Brought by the great El Toro And the bitterness that burned deep in his heart Caused him to hate El Toro The bull El Toro Brought him defeat and pain And to his sorrow The matador knew shame. So one night When no one was on sight The matador Went to settle the score In the lonely fields Beneath the pale moonlight He sought the bull And they fought once more. When they found the matador They saw him dying He'd never see tomorrow Now they say that on the spot Where he was lying Still walks the proud El Toro The bull El Toro Brought him defeat and pain And to his sorrow The matador knew shame.
