Goldenrods & Cottonwood

I see him in the depth of history With power and mystery, where's he's free I see him in the pages of a book Surrealism look, the earth shook When he went away, the pages all went blank The streets and gardens stank, miss his face When we went away, we looked into the eyes Of the darkness of surprise, prayed for lies But he don't deserve a cliché Simple words fail what to say Everything we say just feels wrong Who am I to sing your song? All the clouds hid the world tonight Find your rainbow road, leave a trail of light I see him standing on the road With glimpses of Rimbaud in his soul I see him on a silver movie screen Like he's back at 17, it still stings When he went away, the roads all turned to dust Diamonds turned to rust, oh dreams crushed When he went away, the screens all turned to black This time he's never coming back, heart attack All the clouds hid the world tonight Find your rainbow road, leave a trail of light Fly away and be free, somewhere no one can see We'll still be watching for you way down here Goldenrods and Cottonwood and old CDs, everything good I miss you much but see you soon I carry your heart with me I carry it in my heart, I am never without it Anywhere I go, you go Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud And the sky of the sky of a tree called life
