A bottomless rain comes up and
Fakes to wash away our pasts
But if we'd truly be honest we're just about to get wet
A terrible stiffness in my spine
And my muscles refrain from my mind
An electrical current flashes through my nerves unkind
And will our songs be told
When both our souls are sold
And our time did unfold
When our bodies are grey and old
And all our children sing these ancient tales
Now kick me to wake me
Then trick me and say I'm free
Whatever I know I know it to be vanity
It's silly to sing your name
I guess they are all the same
I just stand in your door and sing to you day by day
And will our songs be told
When both our souls are sold
And our time did unfold
When our bodies are grey and old
And all our children sing these ancient tales
I'm the happiest boy alive
I'll happily grow old and then die
Let me follow you softly through the uprising light
Forgot To Get You Off My Mind
I went down along
The a-yawning riverside
Pulled my face into it but forgot to get you off my mind
So I tried to fish
To abide the time
But I only fell asleep to wake up still feeling as tired
And the river's still a-yawning
And the fishes still won't bite
And the morning is a-dawning
And your keeping on my mind
Now my face is sore
And my hands are dry
I woke up alone but forgot to get you off my mind
There are shimmering rays
Drifting on the rivers tide
I only hear it crackling but cannot open my eyes
And my body is still drowning
And the rivers tide is high
And the rays imply a morning
And your keeping on my mind
But the river's still a-yawning
And the fishes still won't bite
And the morning is a-dawning
And your keeping on my mind
Baby I Am Blue (For You)
I found some brand-new love the other evening
I found it to be brutal and obscure
I found it to be comforting and soothing
Oh baby I am blue
Oh I am blue for you
You're lovelier than what a human being
In its lonesome life ever accrues
How can I dare to stop and see you leaving
Oh baby I am blue
Oh I am blue for you
How could I even understand the reasons
Is any of these sentiments a truth
I guess there must be something about the season
Oh baby I am blue
Oh I am blue for you
I found some brand-new love the other evening
I found it to be brutal and obscure
I found it to be comforting and soothing
Oh baby I am blue
Oh I am blue for you
Oh Lord
I live day by day in two dozen opposing hours
And oh i long to feel my body embraced by a gentle warmth
Oh Lord let my crippled creeks pour down into the stream
Oh Lord let my crippling dreams 'come humble merciful and lean
Lover I pluck wild flowers for you in my days height
Oh I wander deep into the meadow to keep me bright
Oh lord let my meadowlarks sing in a roaring choir
Oh lord let my songs be sung from dusk till the dawn is ripe
Lord and I will sing to you with all of my hearts divide
Oh and will you pasture me on a meadow so green and wild
Oh Lord let my separate paths conflate and intertwine
Oh Lord let the roads ahead be rocky and joyous and mine
Tumbling Head
I could meet you
In the remains of fall
And I could take you
You would take your toll
Then I would wake you
If anyone would wake at all
And I would make you my love
That is all
That is all
And in the nighttime
We leave the windows and the doors so wide
I pick up my shoes and you pick up your shoes
And up and off and on we ride
Then we fade into the darkness
Heading for the southern side
Then this song is sung
As it is sung tonight
And we would creep
Like and through the meadows fog
Like love is cheap
Yes and love is all but lost
The valley's deep
And the hilltops they stand so tall
Oh it's my hand my heart and my skin
And that is all
Oh you're back in my sweet little hummingbird
Your so humble and dreamy graceful and full of words
And jealously weeping heartily waiting to be freed
I recall the game and ain't it the same apart from me?
Nothing New
Oh the bluebirds they're up in the mountains
They all flew away from the heat
And even in the heights of the pinnacles
They're flying free
Oh the fish they are deep in the ocean
The water runs straight through their gills
Babe that's not the way that we are breathing
But they're breathing for you and me
Babe I know you're feeling lonely
But see I am alone here with you
If the sun's beating down
And the rain's coming up
That ain't new
See yesterday there was a fever
Today all the beasts are getting wet
Then again I guess it's good to see weather
As hard as it gets
Babe I know you feeling lonely
But see I am alone here with you
If the sun's beating down
And the rain's coming up
That ain't new
Now after the rains are all over
The result it is sticky and close
And I barely can breathe with this headache
But what else would I choose
Babe I know you're feeling lonely
But see I am alone here with you
If the sun's beating down
And the rain's coming up that ain't new
If the sun's beating down
And the rain's coming up that ain't new
