Lyrics
Was as battered and worn a one as you have ever seen.
But I made it some new wings and painted the nose,
And I wished so hard up in the air I rose, singing
Carry me above the world
Carry me, carry me, carry me.
She was younger than me
Her parents kept her locked up in their life
And she was crying at night,
And she was wishing she could be free.
Standing there watching us play.
For a while there, the music would take her away
And she’d be singing
Carry me above the world
Carry me, carry me
Carry me above the world.
She was lying in white sheets there and she was waiting to die.
She said, “If you’d just reach underneath this bed
And untie these weights,
I could surely fly.
She’d like to hear that last bell ring.
You know if she could she would
Stand up, and she could sing, singing
Carry me above the world
Carry me, carry me.
Wheel gull spin and glide, you’ve got no place to hide
‘Cause you don’t need one
All along the Lee shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes, at me
From the sea
Here is one like sunrise
It’s older than you know
It’s still lying there where some careless wave
Forgot it long ago
When I awoke this morning
I dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the sea fish roam
There I heard this story
From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There’s another island a day’s run away from here
And it’s empty and free
From here to Venezuela
There’s nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands
Flung like some jewels upon the sea
For you and me
Sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tales
But perhaps I’ll see you, the next quiet place
I furl my sails

Like yours, mi’lady like yours
When she’d walk down
Through the garden
In the morning after it rained
Peacocks wandered aimlessly
underneath an orange tree
Why can’t she see me?
Drew pentagrams
Like yours, mi’lady like yours
Late at night
When she thought
that no one was watching at all
She shall be free
As she turns her gaze
Down the slope
to the harbor where I lay
Anchored for a day
Had golden hair
Like yours, mi’lady like yours
Streaming out when we’d ride
Through the warm wind down by the bay
Yesterday
Seagulls circle endlessly
I sing in silent harmony
We shall be free
I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around the dirty town
And the children let out from their schools
I was standing on a noisy corner
I was waiting for the walking green
Across the street he stood
And he played real good
He was playin’ real good for free
Me I play for fortunes
And those velvet curtain calls
I got a black limousine and about thirty-seven criminal
Escorting me to this halls
And I’ll play if you have some money
Or if you’re a friend to me
But that one-man band by the quick lunch stand
He was just playin’ real good for free
Nobody, I say nobody, nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew they had never seen him on their TV screen
So they passed his music by
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain as the signals changed
He was still playin’ real good for free.

Stream of consciousness
On a sleeping
Street of dreams
Like scattered leaves
Slowed in mid-fall
Into the streams
Of choice and chance
And time stops here on the delta
While they dance, while they dance
Who steers this riverboat
But lately he’s crazy
For the deep
In the daytime
And someone keeps thinking
In my sleep
Of choice and chance
And It seems as if time stops here on the delta (Time stops here on the delta)
While they dance, while they dance, while they dance, do, do, do
De, de, da …
You know what I miss
Small things like textures and flavors
How close up everything used to feel
Till this distance came in our lives
Distance came in our lives
It always happens when you’re trying to get next to someone
When you want to reach their heart
You cannot get close enough to start
Talking, talking straight to one another mmm …
Do you remember
The things you used to write on the dashboard in the dust?
And the way we never
Never, we never thought this car would rust
Till this distance came in our lives
Distance came in our lives
It always happens
When you’re trying to get next to someone
When you want to reach her heart
You cannot get close, close, close enough to start
Talking, talking straight to one another
Talking and talking and talking
Across these distances in our lives
Distances in our lives
Distances in our lives
Da, da, da …
De, de, da …
Here we are … one, two … one, two, three …
It was one of those nights when you drive
Right by your own street
And you wonder who’s running
Your hands and your feet
And your car becomes a capsule
Sometimes you can hide
Last night I just needed
I needed to ride
I wanted to drive my car didn’t really care how far
I wanted to roam alone
I wanted to drive my car didn’t really care how far
I wanted to roam alone
I was not out looking for honeys
Oh, I noticed them like usual but not as strong
And the distance between me and my pavement
Seemed to get a hundred yards long
I still feel the wind on my elbow
But I’m driving by the seat of my pants
I keep on tryin’ to tune in, tune in on the radio
Trying to tune me out of my trance
I needed to drive my car didn’t really care how far
I wanted to roam alone
I wanted to drive my car (Drive, drive) didn’t really care how far
I wanted to roam alone
At least a car goes where you steer it
Sometimes that’s the only thing that does
So I get in it and I drive it just to hear it
And remember this feeling that there was
I needed to drive my car didn’t really care how far
I wanted to roam alone
I wanted to drive my car, I (Drive, drive, drive)
Wanted to roam alone
I wanted to drive my car I don’t care how far
I wanted to roam alone

Me and her or you and me
You both sit there with your long hair flowing
Your eyes are alive your minds are still growing
Saying to me “What can we do now that we both love you?”
I love both you too
And I don’t really see why can’t we go on as three
You are afraid, you’re probably embarrassed too
No one has ever in your sweet short life
Said such a thing to you
Your mother’s ghost stands at you shoulder
Got a face like ice just a little colder
Saying to you “You cannot do that it breaks all the rules
You learned in schools”
I still don’t really see why can’t we go on as, three
We love each other it’s plain to see
There’s just one answer that comes right away to me, yeah, yeah
Sister-lovers, some of you must know about water-brothers
And in time, maybe others
So you see what we can do is to try something new
That is if you’re crazy I am too, yeah
I still don’t really see why can’t we go on as, three
It’s goin’ to be a long time gone.
Appears to be a long time,
Yes, a long, long, log time
Before the dawn.
Hear, you must hear what the people say,
You know there’s something that’s goin’ on here,
That surely, surely, surely won’t stand the light of day.
And it appears to be a long,
Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.
Speak out, you got to speak out against
The madness, you got to speak your mind,
If you dare.
If you do you had better cut your hair.
‘Cause it appears to be a long time,
Before the dawn.
It’s been a long time gone.
But you know, the darkest hour,
Is always just before the dawn.
And it appears to be a long time,
Such a long, long, long time before the dawn.
If you smile at me, I will understand
‘Cause that is something
Everybody everywhere does in the same language
I can see by your coat, my friend
You’re from the other side
There’s just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won?
Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven’t got sick once
Probably keep us both alive
Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ ’bout very free and easy
Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don’t need us
Go, take your sister then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don’t need us
And it’s a fair wind blowin’ warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I’ll set a course and go…
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly
Into the light
Of the dark black night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
