Terry Callier - Welcome Home [live] (2009) by Terry Callier (보컬) on maniadb.com

And for my opening line
I'm not trying to indicate my state of mind.
I turn you on,
I tell you that I'm laughing just to keep from crying
Pretty music when you hear it,
Keep on trying to get near it.
A little rhythm for your spirit
Oh but that's what it's for
Come on in, here's the door

And I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than I

Now here's a mystery
And maybe you can help to make it clear to me
When you're fast asleep
Then what is it that's lighting up the dreams you see
Only your tears can't conceal it
And only your prayers may not reveal it
You've got soul so you can feel it
And when you make the scene
Well you know what I mean

Hey, I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than I

Down here on the ground
When you find folks are giving you the runaround
Keep your game uptight
And if you must just take your secrets underground
Now politicians are trying to speech you
Mad color watchers are trying to teach you
Very few will really try to reach you
If you're lost in a stack
That's OK, come all black

Now I'd be the last to deny
That I'm just an average guy
And don't you know each little bird in the sky
Is just a little bit freer than I

Hey ordinary Joe
Although they say you're just a lazy so-and-so
What they think is real
Is nothing but an animated puppet show
So don't let time and space confuse you
And don't let name and form abuse you
Let that Big Joe Williams blues you
In the light of the sun you can see how they burn

Oh I've seen a sparrow get high
And waste his time in the sky
He thinks it's easy to fly
He's just a little bit freer than i

I met a young man on the skeleton coast
He was out of his feet and pale as a ghost
I asked him his name - he said Lazarus, man
I've comne to your country from a far away land
I can't quite remember the last time I was on shore
Coulda been twelve years - it coulda been more
But I've seen tribulation and itstaggered my mind
And I just don't remember whatI come her to find

It's wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
I'll tell you the stroy as quick as I can
I've got nothing by time , I'm Lazarus Man

He saide "I woke one mornin'and felt a little bit strange
By midafternoon there was fever and pain
And later that night with a few friends at my side
I went of to sleep and then I must have died
'Cause I was stumblin'and rising so I couldn't quite tell
Had one foot in glory and one foot in hell
On one side the gardenand on one sidethe flame
And I thought I heard somebody call out my name
Yeah, somebody was saying "Lazarus arise!"
So I sat up and opened my eyes
You know I wanted to dance but I didn't have room
I threw off the sheets and stepped out of the tomb"

It's wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
I'll tell you the stroy as quick as I can
I've got nothing by time , I'm Lazarus Man

Now I've been from nazareth to high barbary
And I realize there's no rest for me
Ißve been out on the desert
Ißve been out on the deep
But since he bid me to rise
I ain't been to sleep

It's wind on the ocean, rain on the land
Three drops of water and one grain of sand
I'll tell you the stroy as quick as I can
I've got nothing by time , I'm Lazarus Man
