Red Rubber Ball

The Crykle

(Words and Music by Paul Simon (of Simon & Garfunkel fame) 

and Bruce Woodley)

I should have known you'd bid me farewell

There's a lesson to be learned from this and I learned it very well

Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea

If I never hear your name again, it's all the same to me

And I think it's gonna be all right

Yeah, the worst is over now

The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

You never care for secrets I confide

For you I'm just an ornament, somethin' for your pride

Always runnin', never carin', that's the life you live

Stolen minutes of your time were all ya had to give

And I think it's gonna be all right

Yeah, the worst is over now

The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

The story's in the past with nothin' to recall

I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all

The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end

I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be all right

Yeah, the worst is over now

The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

Oh, oh, oh

I think it's gonna be all right

Yeah, the worst is over now

The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball
