Any Way I Do Lyrics - Flower Of Avalon - Tracy Grammer

In the Redwing Valley, on the Injun side 

Upon my daddy's pony I would ride 

Now I work in the city on the factory line 

And I sing "The Rock of Ages" in a midnight choir sometimes 

(Chorus) 

In praise or lamentation, 

Peace, or desperation; 

Any way I do, I come into 

The presence of the Lord 

In the twilight hour, when the whistles blow 

Out upon that shotgun street I'll go 

Johnny Walker on the sidewalk, asking for my change 

Prophesying thunder; man, he's sleeping in the rain 

Chorus 

Hey, can you hear the trumpet blowing? 

Hey, won't you come up where I am? 

Sister, will you walk beside me where I'm going 

Up the shadow canyon 

In the pure blood of the Lamb? 

When the midnight special come to take me home 

And the toothless buzzard, Time, gnaws down my bones 

I will sail on a river in a boat of reeds 

Crying, "Come, O come Emmanuel; in this, my hour of need" 

Chorus
