Ride the blue wind high and free
|
she'll lead you down through misery
|
leave you low, come time to go
|
alone and low as low can be
|
|
|
If I had a nickel I'd find a game
|
If I won a dollar I'd make it rain
|
If it rained an ocean I'd drink it dry
|
and lay me down dissatisfied
|
|
|
Legs to walk and thoughts to fly
|
eyes to laugh and lips to cry
|
a restless tongue to classify
|
all born to grow and grown to die
|
|
|
So tell my baby I said so long
|
tell my mother I did no wrong
|
tell my brother to watch his own
|
and tell my friends to mourn me none
|
|
|
I'm chained upon the face of time
|
feelin' full of foolish rhyme
|
there ain't no dark till something shines
|
I'm bound to leave this dark behind
|
|
|
Ride the blue wind high and free
|
she'll lead you down through misery
|
leave you low, come time to go
|
alone and low as low can be
|
