(NDiamond, RRobertson)
[Recorded September 27, 1976, New York]

Dry your eyes, and take your song out, it's a newborn afternoon
If you can't recall the singer, you can still recall the tune
Dry your eyes and play it slowly, like you're marching off to war,
Sing it like you know he'd want it, like we sang it once before
From the center of the circle to the midst of the waving crowd
If it ever be forgotten, sing it long and sing it loud
Come, dry your eyes
And he taught us more about giving than we ever cared to know
But we came to find the secret and we never let it go
And it was more than being holy, though it was less than being free,
And if you can't recall the reason, can you hear the people sing,
Through the lightning and the thunder, to the dark side of the moon,
To that distant calling angel who descended much too soon
And come, dry your eyes

[musical interlude]

Come, dry your eyes
