You can always tell your neighbor
He's the one what you can't touch
He's the one what contradicts you
She's the one what don't make sense
They won't always be around you maybe if you say hello
They'll be glad when they've found you could be you'll be
Leanin on the fence together
In the hours of your labor underneath the sun
2.
look up you'll find spring upon you
take a lesson from the tree
it flows forth with buds abundant
and it functions perfectly
it's as tall and wide as heaven
branches lean against your home
get together with your neighbor who may help you
leanin on the fence together
In the hours of your labor underneath the sun
3.
once upon a wagonload of fruit and vegetables quite free
currency of modern paintings book based on the trilogy
could this really be
wonderin where my former friend is
will he never leave my sleep
farewell farmer good to see you you'll be with me
daring during the day
In the hours of your labor underneath the sun
4.
everyday somebody kicks off leaves behind a memory
something they thought couldn't happen
happens nearly every day
look out winter comin up behind'em
winds a stackin snow hip deep
streets of Kyoto wet and damp cold wind something
meltin down a mountain
In the hours of your labor underneath the sun
5.
you may never find a keeper if you're going to stop to see
whether the edge of space is steeper than the point eternity - then again you just may
take a lengthy course in Latin learn another way to spend
all the time you're allocated ignore the bore
steppin up on you
In the hours of your labor underneath the sun

I want nothin more than nothin mama I can't tell you why
I got nothin more to tell you mom remember wanderin by
your house in the mornin underneath a winter sky
2.
the wind was blowin and I thought I might
be on my way through
through the winter wind I heard mom a voice cry fool
you ain't got no further farther there ain't nothin new
3.
my whiskers froze in the weather mama
my eyes closed dead tight
fell into the snow drift mama thinkin things seem right
drifted off to sleep forever mama for an endless night

Dutch Willemstad
03:13
|

I went down to Dutch Willemstad oh
Carribean splashin on the shore
my boat leavin made me sad and low
people there were gentle like the ones I know
2.
they wore colors that were joyful
like the words they thought
did alot of nothin cause the sun was hot
fruit boats bobbin in the blue-green sea
seems peace for a moment in my memory
refrain:
the snow comes fallin on the ground
where I go walkin every mornin since I been home
the trees ain't got no leaves this winter
and I ain't got no reason
3.
I'm longin for those Carribean days
when things were simple in the mornin shade
and there was singin singin happily
seems peace for a moment in my memory

In the mornin in the sun
the cobblestone flute boy playin
birds for miles roofs and eaves
the cobblestone flute boy playin
near the fountain fountain bird
the cobblestone flute boy playin
early risers find him gone
the cobblestone flute boy playin

Cornfield Night
05:40
|

When I was livin in Michigan oh I want to be there again
when that woman and I made our love
out in the cornfield night
2.
we were lyin in earth's shadow
did not notice if it were evil
lyin there near ecstasy out in the cornfield night
refrain:
out in the cornfield night lazin in the now
lazin like the sow out in the cornfield night
3.
sweet mother earth between rows
Jeana leanin on her left elbow
she whispered to me only I could hear
out in the cornfield night
4.
the sun came up to find us two
covered with the mornin new
shivverin cold but lovin warm
out in the cornfield night
coda:
I love in merry weather I love to see
my love a runnin after
sometimes after me sometimes after me
love when that mornin light is lightin my love's lace
down along her seamless goodness
lightin my love's face lightin my love's face
there are good days far behind me that I just let go
they'd keep me sadly in their presence
now I've joined the flow now I've joined the flow

Got Some Choices

Got some choices to make um uh
got some lovers to take
got a fair way to go I can carry my stone
2.
I had a thought about quittin um uh
walkin on down without breathin
I been cured of that woe I can carry my stone
3.
light wakes me up in the mornin um uh
I turn to look to horizon
we go through our sweet day notice each subtle shade
we're nearly one when we ohm we can carry our stone

Train goin down the river somethin went around the bend
someone in the road sayin hey yr gettin old
don't procrastinate don't proliferate
shiny face in the mirror smilin face
there's somethin mighty strange dawnin in the north
that's a sign of change not a sign of rain
2.
I don't want to be a work incentive
and I ain't about to own a slave
all that I can see exactly what I need
that's what I demand take it if I can
fishin out the window visions clear up to the sun
such apparent notions are indicative of one
giant sign of change not a sign of rain
3.
melody astride a blue banana
peel the bacon from a strip of tease
everywhere there are assistants to the czar
watchin for the syntax hopin for a grimace
underneath the green tree where the grass goes dark
snoozin in the deep and innocent unsullied part
that's a sing of change not a sign of rain

Being called I went to the snow and spray hey Lake Superior
Three-D trees Gauguin hue
and the pepple colors were so superior
and the light as it were called me shaman at the shore
Lake Superior (3x)
2.
old globe earth it turned toward the sun beyond
Lake Superior
old cold wind it cut and it bit hard as ice so December
seagull soar early winter seagull call morning witness
Lake Superior (3x)
3.
holy names they pass in a stream at the place
Lake Superior
Sidhartha, Jesus, Krishna, Shiva,
Brahman, Spinoza, Lao Tse, Tolle
Being called I went to the snow and spray hey
Lake Superior
