'TPMO' Version (1969) : 'Lakeside Sessions' Version (2001) :
Sudden arrivals mean early leavings Sudden arrivals mean early leavings
Short blisses and long grievings Short blisses and long grievings
And you were the kind who appears on the scene And you were the kind who appears on the scene
In a shower of glass, looking dauntless and keen In a shower of glass, looking dauntless and keen
Footloose and fancy free Footloose and fancy free
Fancifully free with me Fancifully free with me
Early leavings mean long tomorrows Early leavings mean long tomorrows
Few favours and deep sorrows Few favours and deep sorrows
And you were the kind who makes tracks in the night And you were the kind who makes tracks in the night
Down the hallway, forgetting to turn off the light Down the hallway, forgetting to turn out the light
Footloose and fancy free Footloose and fancy free
Fancifully free with me Fancifully free with me
And seeing you were gone I could have cried And seeing you were gone I could have cried
And cried until I laughed it seemed so funny And cried until I laughed it seemed so funny
Being spectacularly sad Being spectacularly sad
Throwing good money after bad Throwing good money after bad
Why go on why not just let it slide? Why go on why not just let it slide?
But sudden arrivals and early leavings But sudden arrivals and early leavings
Mean deep sorrows and long grievings Mean deep sorrows, long grievings
And you were the kind who lights out from the crime And you were the kind who lights out from the crime
Convinced it will all put itself right in time Convinced it'll all put itself right in time
The wide-smiling kind who with arms akimbo Footloose and fancy free
Goes back to looking relaxed in limbo Fancifully free with me
Footloose and fancy free, fancifully free with me
Why go on why not just let it slide?
But sudden arrivals and early leavings
Mean deep sorrows and long grievings
And you were the kind who lights out from the crime
Convinced it'll all put itself right in time
The wide-smiling kind who with arms akimbo
Goes back to looking relaxed in limbo
Footloose and fancy free, fancifully free with me
