Morrison Lyrics - David Crosby

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

Watch Beck's Heroic New Music Video For 'Up All Night' 

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) 

Photos 

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)
