Little River Lyrics - Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird - The Tallest Man On Earth

Well there is something 'bout the quiet, uplifting laughter 

You've just spent so many years chased by a cloud, oh 

It's taken you so far, far past the cliff's edge 

And now your feet just poke around to feel the ground, oh 

You say "is this a joke," I float "come on now" 

you see there's something down below 

Just let me fall to be of use, make me the rainstorm 

Just a piece of hail, you know 

You said, "all the time it needs to take 

and all the time there is a shiver from some fallen tear 

but is it on this lack of fallen luck 

to dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?" 

And there is something 'bout the quiet surprise in darkness 

You just sing about your own death in your closet 

You stumble out into the pitch-black hallway 

you think you've lost so many times though it's not war yet

You say "are these my eyes?" 

You said "come on now, already lost my sense to feel" 

But there is always someone out there who will listen 

And then there's nothing but a dream 

You said, "all the time it needs to take 

and all the time there is a shiver from some fallen tear 

but is it on this lack of fallen luck 

to dream of things like a little river to the golden ground?" 

And there is something 'bout the leaving of a lover 

You think you knew through all the year's you've been a woman 

And he's stepping out and walks out of the garden 

Where all the lilies and all the weeds came from his cold hand 

You say "is this my life," you said "come on now" 

You see the diamonds when you yell, 

that let you stay in all the corners I have been here 

but now you travel, go to hell
