Rise up early this morning / what goes on in the street / lines are already forming / the crack of a rainstorm is backing the beat / bigheads to the left of me / and bigheads to the right / hands you better get ready / to baton things down for a terrible flight / into this world we run / until the day that we die / we never know what will come / under the invisible eye / from sitting pretty and young  / to old and just getting by / we never know what is done / under the invisible eye / go out later this evening / what goes on in the street / hard to believe in the way that we weave / and yet never once manage to meet / bigheads on the corner / bigheads tending the store / hands you better get ready / it’s going to get rough / right outside of the door / into this world we run / until the day that we die / we never know what will come / under the invisible eye / from sitting pretty and young  / to old and just getting by / we never know what is done / under the invisible eye / we never know what is done / under the invisible eye.

Wicked wind why you singing like you do / is it true that the night can be so blue / there’s a line that you move / every time you try to shake / every groove you find another home to break / you sing the blues / sing the blues / sing the blues / sing the blues / wicked wind why you visiting again / is it true the night will be your only friend / there’s a beat that you use / as you ride the melody / blowing on around the bend too blind to see / you sing the blues / sing the blues / sing the blues / sing the blues / wicked wind with your high and fancy shoes / is it true there isn’t much time left to lose / sing the blues / sing the blues / sing the blues / sing the blues.

Turning corners takes some time to understand / you spend your nights all out of line / and any woman you might try / to take her by the hand / and brag until the day begins to shine / rolling barrels down the middle of the street / out there dancing on the vine / you feel the fire from the bottom of your feet / and listen as the spirits fill your mind / I hear that song of the seasick   sailor now / I´ve gone away / but I might be back somehow / I´m off to find the land of the midnight cure / I hear that song / I hear that song for sure / I hear that song / I hear that song for sure / losing powers takes some days to comprehend / you try again but just don´t realize / you’re calling spirits that will never ride again / on sunken ships that never more will rise / keeping pearls in the bottom of a cup / for any woman that comes passing by / your heart is turning so you want to fill her up / and find a way to never have to die / I hear that song of the seasick sailor now / I´ve gone away / but I might be back somehow / I´m off to find the land of the midnight cure / I hear that song / I hear that song for sure / I hear that song / I hear that song for sure / the wind / the rain / that pain so pure / I hear that song / I hear that song for sure / I hear that song / I hear that song for sure.

Free for a season / but now there’s no reason to fly / sun going down there’s another day waving goodbye / goodbye to a long and trusted friend / somewhere down the line this time will end / can’t find an island / and can’t find an anchor to hold / something inside always barreling after the gold / every morning now some distant past / every night a notch up on the mast / somehow things begin to sail away / one by one they all just fail away / whatever happened / to where we were going before / will we ever reach the further shore / then like a novel that no one was able to read / pages fell out of the lives / that we threatened to lead / no one spoke the brave and sturdy spell / every tongue was too tied up to tell / free for a season / but now there’s no reason to boast / blowing away / never knowing what mattered the most / goodbye to a long and trusted friend / all the world cannot one measure mend / somehow things begin to sail away / one by one they all just fail away / whatever happened to where we were going before / will we ever reach the further shore / whatever happened to where we were going before / will we ever reach the further shore.

Sunday morning / see the man stand up before the crowd / talking story / all at once he starts to laugh out loud / this must be the way it all goes down / this might be the last thing that we feel / ain’t no time to stop and look around / this must be the turning of the wheel / concrete towers / going up a billion stories high / by the hour / days keep growing up and passing by / this must be the way it all goes down / this might be the last thing that we feel / ain’t no time to stop and look around / this must be the turning of the wheel / Sunday morning / all the waves begin to wave their hands / all that power / rising up against the higher lands / this must be the way it all goes down / this might be the last thing that we feel / ain’t no time to stop and look around / this must be the turning of the wheel / ain’t no time to stop and look around / this must be the turning of the wheel.

When you were young you held on for life / and you swung to a spot in the sky / and you never told anyone why / you just felt it inside / reaching for something you sensed in a dream / like the rings of some planet that’s never been seen / and who says the grass can’t be green / when you’re over eighteen / send in the lions they screamed in a roar / but you won’t find me playing those games anymore / and I won’t wear the irons / that I sometimes wore in the past / take off the jackets that hold you inside / of some person your childhood never supplied / remember the spirit / that laid down and died on the way / stand by me tree / I just wanted to see / how high my footsteps could go / can I climb you back to the things / I used to know / come to me light / and say it’s all right / to be running away from the pain / will the sunshine give me sight again / and how can we say / that there’s life on this earth / when we’re losing our minds / from the moment of birth / losing the fire that inspires the heavens to shine / let’s build a swing set that soars to the sun / and go swinging above what’s already been done / swinging to where the living’s just begun / when you were young / you held on for life and you swung.

Watch as the sun / goes down in the west / the shadows start filling / the wide open spaces / I’d like to run / and spend all my breath / just chasing the light / of the morning to come / would you be there / to run right beside me / wind in your hair / and a gleam in your eye / find me tonight / my traveling girl / we’ll ramble right over / the edge of the world / you be a bird / and I’ll be the breeze / I’ll carry you back / to a love you remember / there on a mountaintop / under the trees / the river will run / and a feeling will rise / what was that song / your heartbeat was singing / does it belong / to anyone new / find me tonight / my traveling girl / we’ll ramble right over / the edge of the world / there is a light / that shines in the east / it could be a star / or a piece of tomorrow / maybe we’ll find / the journey has spun / the door opens wide / and the morning has come / would you be there / to wake right beside me / sun in your hair / and a dream in your eye / find me tonight / my traveling girl / we’ll ramble right over / the edge of the world / find me tonight / my traveling girl / we’ll ramble right over / the edge of the world.
