Dead Man

I know it's time to go I know it's time to go But I'm afraid of losing roots and ties I had so much to say to you I had so much to say to you But I was silent for a long, long while Oh, float me down on the boat he built With his own hands, in his own time After the howling storm On the river borne, those gentle arms Past the shed where the horses sleep By the oak grove, where the moon glows There I'll catch by the old boxcar You will find me in the leaves I put my dreams up for sale I put my dreams up for sale Half-worn and dog-eared through the years I listened to you the first time I listened to you the last time Your voice opened doors I could not see But from a cage everything looks the same It is the train that brought me here Oh, that ceaseless track, forbidden to look back Without a name the nights are long But the fire burns and I return To the place from which I came From the other side, I will reply You must listen carefully A circle has no end And seeing me in this new light I think you could believe I think you could believe I think you could believe I think you could believe
