Dead Man 04:51
I know it's time to go I know it's time to go But I'm afraid of losing roots and ties I had so much to say to you I had so much to say to you But I was silent for a long, long while Oh, float me down on the boat he built With his own hands, in his own time After the howling storm On the river borne, those gentle arms Past the shed where the horses sleep By the oak grove, where the moon glows There I'll catch by the old boxcar You will find me in the leaves I put my dreams up for sale I put my dreams up for sale Half-worn and dog-eared through the years I listened to you the first time I listened to you the last time Your voice opened doors I could not see But from a cage everything looks the same It is the train that brought me here Oh, that ceaseless track, forbidden to look back Without a name the nights are long But the fire burns and I return To the place from which I came From the other side, I will reply You must listen carefully A circle has no end And seeing me in this new light I think you could believe I think you could believe I think you could believe I think you could believe

Won't you step down from that throne? Leave your puppet shows alone Leave behind your gems and throw That robe into the fire Won't you climb down from that tree? At least throw down a rope for me The view is nice, but I haven't seen Your face for a year or more All the disillusionment All the words that I have bent Such pretty rhymes, but what use is it? I was waiting for the world to come to me Waiting for the world to come to me Can't we stop playing at these games? It's hide and seek with different names I'm willing to take all the blame If you're ready to take my hand Can't you look away from the stars? Keep your telescope and magic cards Keep your books and dreams and sacred art But remember to step outside those walls All the disillusionment All the words that I have bent Such pretty rhymes, but what use is it? I was waiting for the world to come to me Waiting for the world to come to me I have seen you walking home Casting shadows, throwing stones Lips moving, but you're alone Trading blows with a former self All the disillusionment All the words that I have bent Such pretty rhymes, but what use is it? I was waiting for the world to come to me Waiting for the world to come to me Waiting for the world to come to me
