One if by land, two if by sea
Three if by time, and that I would believe
The future’s camped out there like a sleeping army
Three if by time, four if by air
I’ll climb up in the steeple with a feather in my hair
And light the lamps that tell you what I see out there
I was always looking out for you
Would you let me be your lookout
I was always looking out for you
Will you be my lookout now?
A bird in the wind flies steady like a weathervane
A bird in a storm is a marionette on strings of rain
So you got pulled around by the hurricane
And with every revolution, it’s crawling up the coast
I got a flashlight and a flask, but I need a friend the most
You been up and down, tell me what you know
Chorus
Looking out for the right time
Holding on for the good time
One if by land, two if by sea
Three if by time, and that you should believe
The future’s marching on a sleeping army
Chorus
Looking out for the right time
Holding on for the good time
Waiting up for the right time
Looking out for the good time
