OUT MY WAY
Out my way
Days turns days
Days in grace
Out my way
Blue hands face
Good night's lace
Out in storms
Lights embrace
Down in its cave
My heart lays
Its own sun
Lights the day
OTHER KINDS OF LOVE
Love is sweeter than honey
Honey is sweeter than wine
Wine is sweeter than tangerines
Tangerines are blind
I know the earth between my feet
I know the skies above
I know that's where the angels meet
To spread uneartly love
Today I walked among them
I could not get enough
They did not even see me
As they did their angel stuff
One takes the staircase
One holds the wheel
One ties the cotton
To the tire maker's heel
Not hand to picture
What I'm thinking of
Many many other kinds of love
Wheels start a-turnin'
A lotta turns make rain
Rain swells the river
And the river floods the plain
I know the earth between my feet
I know the skies above
That's where the angels meet
To spread unearthly love
Six or seven others
Spilled out on the floor
They begin to multiply
There are hundreds more
NOT SWIMMING GROUND
Six straight rolls in a blind man's game
Half a dozen snake eyes all the time
Holler to an echo
Roll those hollow dice
To the other side
Another time
Got lost on the water
Wound up on the sand
Gaze out through the darkness
With the light in the palm of your hand
To the other side
Another time
I got to say this has nothing to do with the other side
I'll bet they wish they were 'round the corner on some
crazy ride
Every time the walls tumble down
Build up new ones on the changing ground
Works about as well as water in your hand
The new ones are always the tallest ones around
The other side
Another time
You lay out in the water
The light in the palm of your hand
Goes moving through the water
Like the motion of a far off land
To the other side
Another time
Some wins and losses
They hear what they like
Rubbin' toes and burnin' trail
Headin' down the pike
To the other side
Another time
MOUNTAIN LINE
Well the moon was more than we could hope for
We sure know a real good time
Green black box with whatever's inside
Nightime creeping from behind
We'll take him up to the cottonwood
Show him a real good time
Up in the canyon away from the river
Sure that's the mountain line
Well maybe someday I'll find what I'm after
And drag it away from my mind
Maybe someday I'll find
One more mountain line
Will the blue affect him
Is the night too fine
Eyes that follow steppin' out the river
Underneath the mountain line
Well I don't throw myself in the water
The fire's burning stronger with the rain
All it took me was a little understanding
Before I learned to move with the flame
Maybe someday I'll find what I'm after
And drag it away from the mine
Maybe someday I'll find
One more mountain line
