You just kind of wasted my precious time,
But don’t think twice, It’s all right.
I been in the right place
But it must have been the wrong time
You pick the place and I’ll choose the time
And I’ll climb
The hill in my own way
just wait a while, for the right day
And as I rise above the treeline and the clouds
I look down hear the sound of the things you said today
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
Do the eyes not sparkle, Senses goin’ keen
Takes me a love for 'long the way, to see her feathers preen
Kind of makes makes me feel sometimes, didn’t have to go
We are eagles of one nest, The nest is in our soul
And I dream I’m an eagle
And I dream I can spread my wings
Flying high, high, I’m a bird in the sky
I’m an eagle that rides on the breeze
I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
Cloudy, the sky is gray and white, and cloudy.
In the twilight glow I see them
Blue eyes cryin’ in the rain
Twilight…darkened day
Twilight…lost my way
Twilight…night and day
Twilight…can’t find my way
Don’t send me no distant salutations
Or silly souvenirs from far away
Don’t leave me alone in the twilight
Twilight is the loneliest time of day
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea
Grapefruit moon, one star shining
Shining down on me
Heard that tune, and now I’m pining
Honey, can’t you see?
You’re a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be
Fall guys, proudfoot, redbone drag along
Cool fall nights you can still hear a song
Running with the moon on a black trace riverbank
Flatfoot and fifty with a coon on the run
Does four lines or less mean anything to you?
Probably not.
For sure not.
You showed me things they never taught me in school
Sure know something, sure know something
