Crosby, Pevar & Raymond

 “CPR” 

(released June 23, 1998) [Samson Music GC0145]



Morrison (4:45)

Words:  David Crosby

Music:  James Raymond



He was lost and I don't think

he wanted it that way

like a gull blown inland

on a stormy day



Lost in round one

spitting out pieces of his teeth

lost in a Paris graveyard

carrying his own wreath



And I have seen that movie

and it wasn't like that

he was mad and lonely

and blind as a bat



To the bridge

and the falling tree

Too deaf to hear his own song

You see



How does anyone get to there

We may never know

How they got that far

Or what made them go



But he had flown from his homeland

You could see him there

A gull circling

In the high desert air



(Chorus)



And somehow I

Have to learn from this

`Cause I can hear him cry

And feel the hiss



Of the wind in his feathers

and the sand on his feet

As he dies in the desert

On that Paris street.



(Chorus out)
