Lyrics:
Night herons roam at will
Do I sound like a stuck record?
Am I seen but never heard?
Could this life be more absurd?
Someone say the word
Let's go
Let's
It's breathin' time
In Christmas Valley
herons fly by night
and crash into the pines
and when we're gone
from Christmas Valley
no one will remember
It's breathin' time
In Christmas Valley
Herons fly by night
And crash into the pines
And when we're gone
From Christmas Valley
No one will
right Left right
I was in full flight
Had to pick her up for the night
I put her on some hot shit "what's ya size?"
And she saw the riches in my eyes
Blue as the wings of a heron in the night
Like the rising of the tides on the shores of Isle Skye
They gleam evergreen, winds 'a whistling in
on the road from Spokane
On a brief and starstricken night
I hear a blue heron crying, some folks just call it a bird
Call it what you will, I'm heartbroken
song
Or falling in love in the streets at night at the edge of a local square
It's only that I'm here tonight thinking I was there
There are high winds
She wanna film all night so she can wake up and relive it
Yuh, couple Percs got my sleepy
Diamonds water
Wearin' Fiji with a Heron Preston beanie
Morning, noon and night
I can't wait to reunite
With the simple, tiny sight
Of you, your great blue
Heron in hiding
Winter residing
Make my life exciting
CHORUS:
First in flight (repeated 4X)
Gil Scott-Heron:
(Cause all we got is rhythm and timin'
We go beyond the edge of the sky)
[Gift
found the blue heron
Where the Black Mountain hollow can't lure you in
And the creek guides you home.
Speaking directly to the milkyway
Someday you said
the stick oh no
Don't fret baby just feel the vibe
She callin my phone every night
She love me I can't lie
My hands all on her thighs
My hands all on her bum
So many say that they hate you
Awaiting the north they can leave to
But I find you innocent, darling
A warm night with your waters sparkling
on uh
Yo yo (all night long)
During divine hours I use mind power to refine
Flower girls and make 'em feel like black pearls
Get they minds off
coast night falls
When the silent streets call
Will you think of me at all
Will you think of Jericho
When the light dies on the bay
As the seagulls cry
many veins
To New York now I'm back again
East where I do my thang
cight pass me a light
I had just made it back to Pc that night
Ol homie wanna chill
o'er the curb stones
By the road where I'd been sleeping
Them night-long trucks, as they roared by
They could not drown my weeping.
And it was me, and I
to what? Yeah
Want to what? Uhh yeah (come on)
Every bod' see'mon uhh
Yo yo.. (all night long)
[Common]
Durin divine hours I use mind power
Uh still step steppin
Brand new Heron Preston
Diamonds on me came from pressure
She said that money was my first impression
She said that money was
curiosity and determination
Inspire my day and my night.
I hope you’re never tired of me.
My blue heron.
to what? Yeah
want to what? Uhh yeah (come on)
Every bod' see'mon uhh
Yo yo.. (all night long)
[Common]
Durin divine hours I use mind power
What we 'bout to do 'cause?
(We about to get fucked up!)
Cigarettes, heron
(We about to get fucked up!)
Coke, crack, ice, blaze it up
(We about
to take me with you.
And I go down to the Landing,
Heron's Flood flows on storm-clothed
As the harbour lights guide the wanderers home.
I see the sun
to take me with you.
And I go down to the Landing,
Heron's Flood flows on storm-clothed
As the harbour lights guide the wanderers home.
I see the sun
