GLISTENING BLACK
A great blue whale where as it lives in the water
eagle bone hollow...life in the sky
whistle bone
pipe stone
the heart of man is a throne
wild wild wild he carries the child home
heaven hands high
freedom heaven hands high
There is no bird...in the sky
who can fly...who can fly on by
to this place of quiet
this fires repose
in heavens hand high it glows
in heavens hand high it glows
one for the many
made straight the way
You ask me for darker things
of the hardened road
the crooked row hoed
all shod in shame I wager
you'll be dazed by the serious nature...
from La Junta on to Rocky Ford
rocky boy rocky boy rocky boy know the Lord
what can she do but say yes
to the black of the wild
confide and confess
freedom heaven's hand high
one for the many
Brought down town
every high brow
every thought of justice
of just deserved a dead man's curve
our thoughts are burning trust us
He made straight away
straight the way a level plane
straight the way a level plain
In the silver darkness
glistening black
his shadow glows
to cover and clothe
to set at right...the fire of light
reeling drunken on the earth
unbelief weighing upon it
my mind in your hand
in the lion's heart...I the lamb
Heaven hands high
freedom heaven hand's high
make straight the way
A great blue whale where as it lives in the water
eagle bone hollow...life in the sky
whistle bone
pipe stone
the heart of man is a throne
wild wild wild he carries the child home
heaven hands high
freedom heaven hands high
There is no bird...in the sky
who can fly...who can fly on by
to this place of quiet
this fires repose
in heavens hand high it glows
in heavens hand high it glows
one for the many
made straight the way
You ask me for darker things
of the hardened road
the crooked row hoed
all shod in shame I wager
you'll be dazed by the serious nature...
