Magnificent Outpouring Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

It is said that all the good things 

Must come to him who can pretend 

He doesn't have to wait 

For as surely as the light of day 

Must come to drive the night away 

The needles and the pins 

That's where the line begins 

With your magnificent outpouring 

Of that old familiar story 

That's been used a million times 

To ease a million minds 

There are times when I have told you 

That there must be two of us 

To try to work things out 

But if I can't see you everyday 

Then I must hide my thoughts away 

And see you when I can and try to understand 

With your magnificent outpouring 

Of that old familiar story 

That's been used a million times 

To ease a million minds 

So then let us treat our love like any game 

To fan the flames would really be a sin 

For as surely as the snow must fall 

I shall be waiting for your call 

Pretending it is spring and you'll be mine again 

With your magnificent outpouring 

Of that old familiar story 

That's been used a million times 

To ease a million minds 

With your magnificent outpouring 

Of that old familiar story 

That's been used a million times 

To ease a million minds
