Winter rain, now tell me why Summers fade and roses die The answer came The wind and rain Golden hills, now veiled in gray And summer leaves are blown away And what remains? The wind and rain And like a desert spring My lover comes and spreads her wings Like a song thats born to soar the sky Flowing til the waters all are dry The loving in her eyes Circle songs and sands of time Seasons will end in tumbled rhyme And little change The wind and rain And like a desert spring My lover comes and spreads her wings Like a song thats born to soar the sky Flowing til the waters all are dry The knowing in her eyes Winter gray and falling rain Well see summer come again Darkness falls and seasons change The same old friends the wind and rain Winter gray and falling rain Well see summer come again Darkness falls and seasons change The same old friends the wind and rain Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the mornings door See the sun sparkle in the reeds Silver beads, pass into the sea She comes from the town where they call her the woodcutters daughter And shes brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water And she bears it away with a love that the river has taught her Let it flow, greatly grow, wide and clear Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field Harvest dreams, with bushels of corn and the barley meal Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring Black dirt live again The plowman is broad as the back of the land hes sowing As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing That the work of his days measures more than the planting and growing Let it grow, greatly grow, greatly yield What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? As well to count the angels dancing on a pin Water bright as the sky from which it came And the name is on the earth that takes it in We will not speak but stand inside the rain And listen to the thunder shout I am! I am! I am! I am! So it goes, we make what we make since the world began Nothing more, the love of the women, the work of man Seasons round, creatures great and small Up and down as we rise and fall What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? As well to count the angels dancing on a pin Water bright as the sky from which it came And the name is on the earth that takes it in We will not speak but stand inside the rain And listen to the thunder shout I am! I am! I am! I am! Were gonna take a short break and well be back in a few minutes, so everybody hang loose

There were days And there were days And there were days between Summer flies and August dies The world grows dark and mean Comes the shimmer of the moon On black infested trees The singing man is at his song The holy on their knees The reckless are out wrecking The timid plead their pleas No one knows much more of this Than anyone can see anyone can see There wеre days And there wеre days And there were days besides When phantom ships with phantom sails Set to sea on phantom tides Comes the lightning of the sun On bright unfocused eyes The blue of yet another day A springtime wet with sighs A hopeful candle lingers In the land of lullabies Where headless horsemen vanish With wild and lonely cries lonely cries There were days And there were days And there were days I know When all we ever wanted Was to learn and love and grow Once we grew into our shoes We told them where to go Walked halfway around the world On promise of the glow Stood upon a mountain top Walked barefoot in the snow Gave the best we had to give How much well never know well never know There were days And there were days And there were days between Polished like a golden bowl The finest ever seen Hearts of Summer held in trust Still tender, young and green Left on shelves collecting dust Not knowing what they mean Valentines of flesh and blood As soft as velveteen Hoping love would not forsake The days that lie between lie between

Right outside this lazy summer home Aint got time to call your soul a critic, no Right outside the lazy gate of winters summer home Wondering where the nut-thatch winters Wings a mile long just carried the bird away Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings But the heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own There comes a redeemer, and he slowly too fades away Follows a wagon behind him thats loaded with clay The seeds that were silent all burst into bloom, and decay And night comes so quiet, its close on the heels of the day Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings The heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own Sometimes we live no particular way but our own Sometimes we visit your country and live in your home Sometimes we ride on your horses, sometimes we walk alone Sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world The heart has its beaches, its homeland and thoughts of its own Wake now, discover that you are the song that the morning brings The heart has its seasons, its evenings and songs of its own

Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says Dont you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe. Dont give it up, you got an empty cup that only love can fill Only love can fill Walking all morning, been walking all night I dont see much difference between the dark and the light I taste the rain, I feel the rain Never in my mind to cause so much pain Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says Dont you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe. Dont give it up, you got an empty cup only lovе can fill Only love can fill The words come out likе an angry stream You hear yourself say things you could never mean When the heat cools down, and you find your mind You got a lot of words youve got to stand behind Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says Dont you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe. Dont give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill Only love can fill From day to day just letting it ride You get so far away from how it feels inside You cant let go cause youre afraid to fall But the day may come when you cant feel at all Comes a time when the blind man takes your hand, says Dont you see? Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe. Dont give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill Only love can fill Only love can fill Only love can fill I dont know where youve been, buddy, but that was something new. This is also something new. Id just like to tell everybody out there on the radio that this is a really fine audience here. And Im willing to bet you are, too, out there in radio land, even though you dont know it

Patience runs out on the junkie The dark side hires another soul Did he steal his fate or earn it? Was he force fed? Did he learn it? Whatever happened to his precious self control? Like him, Im tired of trying to heal This tomcat heart with which Im blessed Is destruction lovings twin? Must I choose to lose or win? Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed These are the horns of the dilemma What truth this proof against all lies? When sacred fails before profane The wisest man is deemed insane Even the purest of romantics compromise What fixation feeds this fever? As the full moon pales and climbs Am I living truth or rank deceiver? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime, or the crime? And so I wrestle with the angel To see wholl reap the seeds I sow Am I the driver or the driven? Will I be damned to be forgiven? Is there anybody here but me who needs to know? What it is that feeds this fever As the full moon pales and climbs? Am I living truth or rank deceiver? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Victim or the crime? Victim or the crime? Victim or the crime? Victim or the crime? Am I the victim or the crime? Victim or the crime?

Morning comes, she follows the path to the river shore Lightly sung, her song is the latch on the mornings door See the sun sparkle in the reeds, silver beads, pass into the sea She comes from the town where they call her the woodcutters daughter Shes brown as the bank where she kneels down to gather her water She bears it away with a love that the river has taught her Let it flow, let it flow, wide and clear Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field Seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal Broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring Black dirt live again The plowman is broad as the back of the land hes sowing As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing That the work of his days measures more than the planting and growing Let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? As well to count the angels dancing on a pin Water bright as the sky from which it came And the name is on the earth that takes it in We will not speak but stand inside the rain And listen to the thunder shout, I am! I am! I am! I am!
