[00:22.78]"Who's that on the telephone"
[00:25.76]The fisherman said
[00:28.22]"Looks like a writer"
[00:31.17]She turned her head
[00:33.72]"Could be, we'll see"

[00:54.86]The stranger left his dial tone
[01:00.06]His place was gone

[03:12.73]Just turn and walk away (turn and walk away)
[03:18.00]And start a brand-new day (start again, a brand-new day)

[03:33.63]In the game
[03:34.04]Just turn and walk away (turn and walk away)
[03:39.44]And start again, a brand-new day (start again, a brand-new day)
