Sure a lot smaller everyday Wonder why we feel this way You don't know that I've got nothing left to say
I've been blown across the water Like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
I feel that longing loud and clear Dead end streets and I lay here When you're flying you've got nothing left to fear
'Less you're gonna cross the water Like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
Winter wind keeps blowing through the trees But life keeps breathing gaily as you please Hey now, silver birches lying by the road Branches lined against the winter snow
We left the shelter yesterday After we had played some way You can find that I've got nothing left to say
'Less you're gonna cross the water Like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
I've been blown cross the water Like a ship ain't got no sail That ain't no way to feel
Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes Lord knows I got them old walkin' blues Up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes I got them old walkin' blues
Well I feel like blowin' sweet old lonesome horn Up this morning, all I have is gone Feel like blowin' sweet lonesome horn Up this morning, all I had is gone
Gonna leave this town this morning if I have to, have to ride the blinds I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin' If I have to ride the blinds I've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin'
Well she've got Elgin movement from her head down, down to her toes Breaks in a dollar everywhere she goes She's got Elgin movement from her head down to her toes Breaks in on a dollar, now, most anywhere she goes
Well I got up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes Lord knows I got them old walkin' blues Woke up this morning, feel 'round for my shoes I got them old walkin' blues I got them old walkin' blues I got them old walkin' blues
Flowers today bloomin' by the pathway Linin' the edge of tomorrow's grave Bright shinin' way, livin' in the shadows Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
Down in the mine, circled 'round a diamond Serpent of your expectations sleeps a nervous dream Circled so fine like a velvet palace Whiles away the passing hours, not being what he seems
Then he creeps into the night speeding up like fire flight How he moves into the forest floor Send away the pace of time, leave behind the lonely mine And the diamond silent on the floor
We cannot stay by the crystal mountain The serpent of dreams has left his shadow lair The diamond remains brilliant in its cavern No one to see and no one left to care
The serpent's friends have come and gone Down the hills, they're movin' on Through the lakes and forests and the dale
They will find tomorrow's rise Brings them all the bluest skies Frees the lonesome banshee and his wail
Flowers today bloomin' by the pathway Linin' the edge of tomorrow's grave Bright shinin' way, livin' in the shadows Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
Up in the morning watch the north wind rise Bringin' fire down from the skies Hey, we got a long way to go So keep on lovin' and make it slow
We're goin' home Won't be long, hearin' my song That lovin' you ain't Never done no wrong
Well, night time falls like the crack of doom Fills the sky with a shinin' moon Silver siren just got to please Well, fuel me with lovin' down in my knees
We're goin' home Won't be long, hearin' my song That lovin' you ain't Never done no wrong
Well, babe be mine one more time Run your hand down my spine If you say we've got to go Take some time for just one more
Well, up in the mornin' watch the north wind rise Bringin' fire down from the skies Hey, we got a long way to go So keep on lovin' and make it slow
We're goin' home Won't be long, hearin' my song That lovin' you ain't Never done no wrong
Well, babe be mine one more time Run your hand down my spine And baby, well, if you say we've got to go Take some time for just one more
Well, babe be mine one more time Run your hand down my spine And mama, well, if you say we've got to go Take some time for just one more
