[JCarsmileSmith]

Since we last loved gloria

the suns been up and down that many times

since we last loved gloria

i've been sharing love with women of kinds

summer ends and leaves start dying

you wont see robin crying

he knows where the sun is hiding

to another nest he's flying

you gave me reason now I've gotta roam

'cos the road I'm on gal won't run me home

[JCarsmileSmith]

Hear my words gloria

echoing from mountains with a cry

Hear my words gloria

you'll see them gal reflecting off the sky

hear it in the cold wind blowing

hear it in the river's flowing

no-one in the mind thats growing

see 'cos the cards thats showing

[videovac]

sounds like he's playing an out of tune 12 string, gotta say tho, it doesn't sound like Marc's usual playing style, my guess is that it's one of the session players at decca

[CAR18MEN]

Itunes or Amazon needs to GET WITH IT!!!!

i cant find this ANYWHERE!!!

[hiker99]

I never heard this version before. It is good but I prefer the Dion version which is a lot slower

[BolanBarlow1]

[BolanBarlow1]

@caribouchrist He is not a thief he did a cover like so so so so many other artists he also did bob dylan blowing in the wind but never tried to pass them off as songs he had wrote himself!
