Early Flight

There's a high flyin' bird, flying way up in the sky,
And I wonder if she looks down, as she goes on by?
Well, she's flying so freely in the sky.

Lord, look at me here,
I'm rooted like a tree here,
Got those sit-down,
can't cry Oh Lord, gonna die blues.

Now the sun it comes up and lights up the day,
And when he gets tired, Lord, he goes on down his way,
To the east and to the west,
He meets God every day.

Lord, look at me here,
I'm rooted like a tree here,
Got those sit-down, can't cry
Oh Lord, gonna die blues.

Now I had a woman
Lord, she lived down by the mine,
She ain't never seen the sun,
Oh Lord, never stopped crying.

Then one day my woman up and died,
Lord, she up and died now.
Oh Lord, she up and died now.
She wanted to die,
And the only way to fly is die, die, die.

There's a high flyin' bird, flying way up in the sky,
And I wonder if she looks down as she goes on by?
Well, she's flying so freely in the sky.

Lord, look at me here,
I'm rooted like a tree here,
Got those sit-down, can't cry,
Oh, Lord, gonna die blues.

We've running round this world too much girl
Trying not to see but now were free of them
I understand what I understood before
But loving you has made me understand much more
Is it the music in your heart I love so much
Is it the rainbows of your smile I love to touch
There are red flowers in each kiss upon your lips
The times I've spent with you have been fantastic (Trips)
Well I've seen you in a thousand dreams,
Many many days
Without your love around
I'm gonna loose my way and you'll loose yours
You know what's happening you can't sleep or think now
Shadows they are lifted off off you
We can walk here love where we want to.
(Break)
Well I've seen you in a thousand dreams,
Many many days
Without your love around
I'm gonna loose my way and you'll loose yours
You know what's happening you can't sleep or think now
Shadows they are lifted off off you
We can walk here love where we want to

Go to her
She waits
She lies
Beating for you

Go to her
She waits
She lies
Screaming for you

I never thought I'd see the day
When the shadow would move up and say

Go to her
She lay
Waiting for you

Go to her
She waits
She lies
Longing for you

Go to her
She waits
She lies
Only for you

There's something in my bed
So help me lord I'm afraid

Go to her
She lay
Waiting for you

I can still remember the day
When he first won my heart
On a hillside where we lay
He said we would never part

So help how was I to know
My leaving would hurt her so

Go to her
She lay
Waiting for you

Go to her
She lay
Waiting for you

Help how was I to know
My leaving would hurt her so

Go to her
She lay
Waiting for you

Go to her
She lay
Waiting for you

Help how was I to know
My leaving would hurt her so

Go to her
She lay
Waiting for you

Go to her
She lay
Waiting for you

Go to her
She waits
She lies
Beating for you

Go to her
She waits
She lies
Screaming for you

Go to her
She waits
She lies
All for you

Go to her
She lay
Dying for you

Go to her
She lay
Crying for you
Go to her
Go to her

Owsley and Charlie, twins of the trade,
Come to the Poet's Room
Talking about the problems of the leaf,
And yes, it'll be back soon

There used to be tons of gold and green
Comin' up here from Mexico
A donde esta la planta, mi amigo, del sol?
[The translation is: "Where is the plant, my friend, of the sun."]

But Mexico is under the thumb
Of a man we call Richard
And he's come to call himself king
But he's a small-headed man
And he doesn't know a thing
About how to deal for you

How to deal for you
There are millions of you now
I mean it's not as if you were alone
There are brothers everywhere
Just waiting for a toke on that gold
And God knows how far it can go

But thanks Uncle Charlie
For your Mexican smoke
You're a legend Owsley
For your righteous dope

There were a half a million people on the lawn
And we sang to the faces in the dark
How long must that damn race
Wait for the jailer's time to end?
How long must the Panther race
Wait for the iron bars to bend?
And no no no no no nobody waits

have you seen the saucers?
have you seen the saucers?
do you know the people out there
who aren't happy with the way that we care
for the Earth Mother.
have you seen the saucers.
Tranquility Base
there goes the neighborhood
american garbage dumped in space and no room left for brotherhood
have you seen our saucers?
see our lights in your western skies, California?
The rainbow skies
The government tells you another missle is flying
have you any idea why they're lying to you?
to your faces
did they tell you?
have you seen our saucers?

your mother needs you, now she's getting old
her face was pretty, but you let her go
have you seen our saucers?
star children on the back road to salvation
children of the forest, child of the woodstock nation
have a care for the needs of your planet
catch the dawn that once was there
first-born atomic generation
open the door, don't you know what it's for
come and join us on the other side of the sun
