I am not a poet, living is the poem I am not a singer, I am in the song And I've got a story that I cannot write down And I'm with you but I'll always be alone I may not be right, but I don't think I am wrong Every note's an answer, every word's a sign Every man's a dancer, following his own time I've found a tearful language that translates what I am And I cried out loud, but they didn't understand I cried so hard I may never try again I may never try, I may never try again Cleansing in the water, heal me in the light Mend you ageless daughter, I've been awake all night 'Cause if your sands are shifting, I'll need to know what I forgot I don't want much, but I need an awful lot I've found a tearful language that translates what I am And I cried out loud, but you didn't understand I cried so hard I may never try again I may never try, I may never die again I may never cry again I may never try again I may never die again STONEGROUND WORDS Sand me down to the nerve Made to live on stouneground words Imagine that, you've done all that And I come back for more Imagine that, I lived on that And I will live for more I entered dancing and looked for my partner I thought the path could be a double road You played my heart like a drum beating warning Oh, I guess I'm gonna dance this one alone I'll go to the garden that follows the seasons Live in the field where the healing grass grows Go to the mountains where air's clear for breathing Clear is just another way to see I feel to know Cleanse in the ocean, bathe in the power Live with the sea and I rise for the tide Go to the place where the water will bring me I'm the rivers lover, but I'll be the oceans bride And they sand me down to the nerve Make me live on stouneground words Imagine that, you've done all that And I come back for more Imagine that, I lived on that And I will live for more SONG OF THE SOUTH, BASED ON A THEME FROM SONG OF THE NORTH ADAPTED FROM THE ORIGINAL Let it flow Let it flow Let it go into the sea with me in it Let it fly Let it fly Let it glide into the sky with me up there With me, with me up there With me up there, with me up there Repeat Maybe you're hurt, maybe you cried in love Maybe you're living too rough Maybe you're giving too much Maybe the people want more Maybe you're askin' "what for," "what for" Oh, do da day Let it snow Let it snow Let it fall unto the ground and cover me Let it fall unto the ground and cover me Maybe it's wrong Maybe it's right tonight Maybe we'll open the door Maybe it's opened before Maybe you're giving too much Maybe you're living too rough Oh, do day day Repeat Maybe the people want more Maybe you're asking what for Oh, do da day Oh, do da day MAYBE I WAS (A GOLF BALL) I'm so tired that I can't sleep, I already read the Bible inner deep The preacher keeps me on my knees To wander and to travel And to sleep when I am able Maybe I was an old path Maybe I was a raincloud Maybe I was a mountain inside of Russia Maybe I was a good road Maybe I was a secret Maybe I was a river flowing in Russia. But I'm so tired and I can't sleep, I already read the Bible inner deep A preacher keeps me on my knees To wander and to travel And to sleep when I am able.
