Lyrics:
the crumbling water tanks
The bones of cattle and burrows, picked clean by buzzards
Bleached by the desert sun.
I stumbled over a crumbling buckboard nearly
to write it down, starting with the sun
And sometimes church bells, trees and seasons marking times gone by
Sometimes starling swells and tidal moons
kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes and she's gone
Lucy in
follows the car
There's no one but you see
Hey, the moon is chasing me
I worried if I looked away she'd be gone
Don't lose the dreams inside your head
by morning is bitter by the evening
I say the wicked man shall fall
When the moon chase away the sun
And force my day to run
I shall not fear
While the soft breezes sigh as in days long gone by
Way down in Missouri where I heard this melody
When I was a little feller on my mommie's knee
The old
by morning is bitter by the evening
I say the wicked man shall fall
When the moon chase away the sun
And force my day to run
I shall not fear
singing
This wicked life
So what's in store behind that velvet curtain?
The night is gone
And the day is here
The stupid sun is shinin'
The moon
and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night birds' song
If you go away, if you go
reminiscence
catch a smile for stormy days and sad occasions
moving targets and camera shy
the moon is dark and shadowed
the sun keeps ticking by
When the sun is high above
The moon is high back in town
She's got the sun in bright eyes
And the sweet little teardrops
That dance there in
I'd gone too far
And the light that used to guide me
Had faded from my heart
And I found myself in places I thought I'd never go
Surrounded by
know that you love to sing
And, oh baby, well, I know that you love to write
You live by the light of the moon
And I live by light of desire
Ooh,
The world was dark and your only mark
Was the light of the northern star
I imagine what was in your eyes
The seeds of rust and days gone by
Your wings
the sky.
I don't mind the gray skies
'cause they're just clouds passing by.
Heaven is a goodness time.
A brighter light on high.
Do unto others
We've been gettin' beat up by this ol' life,
Seems all we got left is Friday and Saturday night
And sometimes Sunday if Monday is a holiday.
I
free
[Chorus:]
Ocean gypsy of the moon
The sun has made a thousand nights
For you to hold
Ocean gypsy, where are you?
The shadows followed by
free
[Chorus:]
Ocean gypsy of the moon
The sun has made a thousand nights
For you to hold
Ocean gypsy, where are you
The shadows followed by
now is gone;
Her child sent from heaven was taken away,
Heart broken she feels all alone.
Repeat Chorus
At the feet of his mother a little boy cries
Before the winter chill has gone
The springtime rivers rise
Before the setting sun has disappeared
The moon is rising high
And time waits for
heart were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the night bird song
If you go away, if you go away, if you
when a girl walks by
And holds her head like you held yours high
Every now and then, I think of you
And once in awhile when the sun sets right
water rollin' by a riverbank
Like some sleepy little town, down with the moon
Livin' like honey drippin' off a spoon
Like the sun that takes an hour
for me to have some fun
Yes, it's time for my vacation
And lay out in the sun all day long
We are back to basics
And count my blessin's one by one
