I'm going to be honest, I don't know what the time signature is for this song. I'm not going to try and sound smart by offering a guess.

It's actually a mixed meter, between 5/8 and 6/8 The eight always has the beat, so you know it's X/8 instead of X/4

Considering the repetition I think it would better suited to call it a bar of 5/4 and one of 6/4

I've loved this album for quite some time now. It doesn't grow old, it grows younger! Like a fresh little flower that's always willing to give you a push to ride the train and ride it after night!

This song was recorded in honor of Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940); the tallest person in history.
