I see the sun rise
Here comes the day
Where sunrise comes from
I am not knowing

I see with stained eyes
Help find my way
It all surrounds me
It is all snowing, flowing

Here we go

I hear a calling
Each one by name
And so many don't hear
They think it's the same old thing

I feel us falling
Back where we came
It all astounds me
Is it a sad thing, bad thing?

I don't know
Oh no..

We were visited last evening
By a servant of the day
He had traveled miles on horseback
To scout his master's way

And he only had a moment
To warm his frozen hands
And though he needed food and rest
He told us of his land

And all too soon
He had to leave
Else sleep might block his way
And so he thanked us both, and saddled up
And softly rode away

And I thought I caught a glimpse of sun in his eye
And wheatfield in his smile
And I couldn't help but a-thinking
They would follow in a while

Moma's in the kitchen
Cooking up a storm
I ain't tasted nothing better

Daddy's in the bedroom
Keeping us all warm
Pretty soon we'll get up for school


I wish they were here again
Tell me what to do
I still miss them now and then
One and one is two

Instrumental

Mother says, "Be careful
And don't stay out too long
Don't do things you shouldn't
Miss me when I'm gone."
Daddy says, "Not now, son
Just do the best you can
And you'll make out somehow, son
Be just like I am, just like I am."

You won't need a reason
She don't let you choose
And so to make the game easy
Mother makes the rules
We all know how the rules are
Changin' from day to day
That's the breaks, and I'm sorry
Some of us must be going
Some of us have to stay
Some of us may be showing
Some just fade away

Sad to say, it's the ending
And all the feeling's gone
If you don't like pretending
You can come along
And Mother says she's ready
And if you have the time
She'll help us all get steady
Make us all feel better
Make us all feel fine
Make us all feel better
Make us all feel fine

Early birdcall morning
In a milkweed cloudy sky
Sets me free without a warning
Wonder why

And if my eyes aren't open
Or if I'm too blind to see
Would you show me birdcall morning?
Set me free

And if you don't want to, I do
You know I do
Sing the song, sing along
It don't matter if you know the tune
That's the way it goes, I don't know
She makes think I do
Comin' in, she comes again
She breaks ice, but she don't fall through
To the birdcall morning

And if you don't want to, I do
You know I do
Sing the song, sing along
It don't matter if you know the tune
That's the way it goes, I don't know
She makes think I do
Comin' in, she comes again
She breaks ice, but she don't fall through
To the birdcall morning

And when the storm is upon me
And my ship is blown to sea
Would you show me birdcall morning?
Set me free
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
Set me free

You say it's time to go, but you don't want to leave
Foolin' with your keys
I'd like to see the show, but I just don't think it's that easy
Well, if it's everywhere you look, it's easy to see
We'll all be floatin' on a breeze
Bishop takes the rook, looks like the way back is movin' slow

I was playin' out the role of pretender
Tryin' to get it straight in my mind
She said she needed me to defend her
Ain't it nice to wake up and find
Home, home

You say you're sittin' at the bus stop, waitin' at the gate
Got the ticket in your hand
Gettin' kind of hot, it don't seem you got what you paid for
And it isn't worth the fuss, but he's lookin' away
You know he doesn't understand
Not the way you planned out the hand outs
And pay the band

I was standin' in the line with the crazies
Smokin' half and drinkin' the rest
Feelin' fine, kind of a lazy
Hopin' I was passin' the test

Home, home

If I could only show you
All of the things that you'd love to see
And I'd like to start you laughin'
And all that you want is my sympathy

Time won't bring back all the time gone by
So just for the moment, let your heart
Let it fly away
And I'll tell the world about you
Make love to you in all of my dreams

Time won't bring back all the time gone by
So just for the moment, let your heart
Let it fly, fly away
And I'll tell the world about you
Make love to you in all of my dreams
In all of my dreams

And I'll tell the world about you
Make love to you in all of my dreams
Make love to you
And I'll tell the world about you
And I'll tell the world about you
Make love to you in all of my dreams
And I'll tell the world about you
And I'll tell the world about you...

Hey now, the well's run dry
Pages of your book on fire
Read the writing on the wall
Hoedown, it's a show-down
Everywhere you look we're fighting, hear the call
And you know it's gettin' stronger
I don't think they can last much longer
Turn to stone

Well there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feelin' that I don't know why
It's takin' such a long time
They're backyard people and they work all day
The day gets wasted, it's safe to say that their tastin'
To make the words rhyme
And you know it's gettin' stronger
You can't make 'em run that much longer
Turn to stone

Comin' down
Comin' 'round to see you
To see if maybe you know
Who I am
Comin' down
Comin' 'round to see you
Me again

I'm comin' down
Comin' 'round to see you
To see if maybe you know
Who I am
Comin' down
Comin' 'round to see you
Me again
