Gilbert Green Lyrics - Bee Gees

On a hill, inside a house in covewell reach, 

Stands a man who's feeling very tired 

Looking at a song he wrote some time ago 

Could have made it big inside a broadway show 

Every day I go away and find ideas 

Think, I'll climb on top of somewhere high 

Couldn't I write a song about a man who's dead 

Didn't really know if he was off his head 

Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes 

Too bad for gilbert green 

We can tell the world that he was right

NEW SONG: Miley Cyrus - 'Slide Away' - LYRICS 

Sitting in his attic on a sunny day 

Mending 50 goblets that are worn 

Humming to himself a song of yesteryear 

His hearing wasn't good but his eyes were clear 

Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes 

Too bad for gilbert green 

We can tell the world that he was right 

Now the house is burnt along with gilbert green 

Sad to see his sisters stand and cry 

And in the basement lies a song that wasn't seen 

Tells the tale of laughing men and yellow beans 

Ev'rybody knows, that's the way it goes 

Too bad for gilbert green 

Now we can tell the world that he was right
