On the way to your brother's house in the valley, dear,. By the river bridge a cradle floating beside me.. In the whitest water on the banks against the stone.
Meadowlark, fly away down. I hold a cornucopia and a golden crown. For you to wear upon your fleeced down. . My meadowlark sing to me. . Hummingbird, just let me die.
So now I am older than my mother and father. When they had their daughter. Now what does that say about me. . Oh how could I dream of such a selfless and true love.
You left me there. Waiting at the bottom of the stairs. with my eyes closed. Holding my right hand in my left. there is no time for hesitation now. you come or go.
So guess I got old. I was like trash on the sidewalk. I guess I knew why. Often it's hard to just sweet talk. . I was old news to you then. Old news, old news to you then.
I was raised up believing I was somehow unique. Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes, unique in each way you can see. And now after some thinking, I'd say I'd rather be.
Heat, like a dead weight. Still coverin' the street outside. So heavy that the dogs can't hide. In the hot, hot rays. . Out on the sidewalk. It's a river where the children go.
Penniless and tired, let your hair grow long. I was looking at you there and your face looked wrong. Memory is a fickle siren song. I didn't understand.
Where you go so late said the knight on the road. I'm going to meet my god said the child as he stood. And he stood and he stood and it was well that he stood.
In that dream I'm as old as the mountains. Still is starlight reflected in fountains. Children grown on the edge of the ocean. Kept like jewelry kept with devotion.
Crown of leaves, high in the window on a cold morning. Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow. Days are just drops in the river to be lost always. Only you, only you, you know.
Go with your two feet bare. Down through the cold lane there, to Brighton.. A country house, a liar and a louse live there.. . Go with your arms held wide..
Light up with me, my dear,. Light up. Under stormy night, tell nobody. . My brother, where do you intend to go tonight?. I heard that you missed your connecting flight,.
Why in the night sky are the lights hung?. Why is the Earth moving 'round the sun?. Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not a one. Why in the night sky are the lights hung?.
I woke up one morning. All my fingers rotten. I woke up a dying man without a chance. . I came to your window. Threw a stone and waited. At the door a stranger stood.
If to borrow is to take and not return. I have borrowed all my lonesome life. And I can't, no I can't get through. The borrower's debt is the only regret of my youth.
charlie never let it get too hard. just try sticking with the girl you got. other women they would seem secure. they're just as fragile as her. . i heard ... a new good space.
Light ended the night, but the song remained. And I was hiding by the stair, half here. Half there, past the lashing rain. And as the sky would petal white, old innocent lies came to mind.
Now the time has come for leaving. For here now we shall return. We were so glad we could make it but so sad we gotta run. . Well, it might be a long time.
