Association, The - Barefoot Gentleman Lyrics
An old day is coming once again
Young woman leaves the beast
Of never ending sadness
The day grows sleepy and it's
Night
He the barefoot boy
In the earth-green waving fields
Leaves for the city, the stars
Awake and come to the crowd for
The Night
And the orange open glow
And sunset of goodbye is singing
Through woman there's a home
Barefoot gentleman there's a
Woman's hand under the moon
'Neath the moon an ever new light
He the barefoot boy
In the black blindfold of death
Led by a woman within his heart
Finds the city of dark's
Promised land
And the orange open glow
And sunset of goodbye is singing

Association, The Barefoot Gentleman Comments
Yester's vocals on this and Rose Petals gives me chills every time. What an absolute stellar voice. Holy shit.
The six-man band The Association were at their creative and commercial peak (and averaging 250 shows a year) when they recorded 1968’s Birthday with producer Bones Howe and members of the Wrecking Crew. The opener, “Come on In” (written by San Francisco folkie Joe Mapes), power pops alongside a pair of Top 40 carefree groove-fests: “Time for Livin’” and “Everything That Touches You” (the band’s last Top 10 hit). From there, the beautifully arranged musical detours are many (and no doubt influenced by Sgt. Pepper). Guitarist Jim Yester, for example, contributes two gentle psych ditties that sound like David Crosby fronting The Mamas & The Papas: "Birthday Morning” and “Barefoot Gentlemen.” (The latter features a lovely, elaborate mix of French horns, flugelhorns, and tubas.) Singer/guitarist Russ Giguere’s self-serious dreamer “The Time It Is Today” sounds like an intellectual folkster taking on Gene Clark. The baroque and reaching “Bus Song” is told in three musical chapters, complete with an imagined audience, a barbershop quartet, and a plethora of experimental studio ideas worthy of Brian Wilson.
