Seals & Crofts

My mind begins to wander
Way back yonder, I recall
The day Aunt Osie stood on the porch
And said to me, "Be careful of the world and all"
She knew much more than I thought
But I was young too young to know
Now I have seen too much too soon
And somewhere and somehow, something's a gonna blow
Gabriel, your face is red
Be careful, you'll hurt your head and wind up dead
Like the world has lost its ears and eyes
Is it wise to sympathize
When harmony has been kicked in the knee?
And sour notes a singin'
Their sad, sad song
Gabriel, won't you go on home?
Gabriel, won't you go on home?
My mind begins to wonder
Way out yonder, I can see
A brand new star has now been born
To make things warm and bright for you and me
Hey here, hey there, hey you
I've got some proof, it's really so
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
And somewhere, somehow, something's a gonna blow
Gabriel, your face is red
Be careful, you'll hurt your head and wind up dead
Like the world has lost its ears and eyes
Is it wise to sympathize
When harmony has been kicked in the knee?
And sour notes a singin'
Their sad, sad song
Gabriel, won't you go on home?
Gabriel, won't you go on home?
