I went down to the river. To meet the widow. She gave me an apple. And it was red. . I slept in her black arms. For a century. She wanted nothing in return.
When I was seven. I told my mother. 'Take me to the bay and put me on a ship'. . Silver swordfish. Of electric. I can feel a dream down here. . If the water should cut my mind.
Me and some friends of mine. We stayed up all night taking truth serum. We soon realized the mistake we made. And went our separate separate ways. . I went up on the roof.
The morning paper is on it's way. It's all bad news on every page. So I roll right over and go to sleep. The evening sun will be so sweet. . I roll right over.
If there were something so hard and clear. It would have been autumn so long ago. . So, take your sweet treat in the evening. Take your sweet treat in the evening.
When I take the prisoners swimming. They have the time of their lives. I love to watch them floating. . On their backs. Unburden and relaxed. . I sit in the tall grass and look the other way.
I went down to the river. To meet the widow. She gave me an apple. It was red. . I slept in her black arms for a century. She wanted nothing in return.
Let's move to the country. Just you and me. . My travels are over. My travels are through. . Let's move to the country. Just me and you. . A goat and a monkey.
Im left only with love for you. You did what was right to do. And I hope you find your husband. And a father to your children. . Cause Im left only with love for you.
I had to leave the country. Though there was some nice folk there. Now I dont know where Im going. All I know is Ill hit the ground running. . Only cowboys and southern gentlemen.
For the first time in my life. I let myself be held. Like a big old baby. I surrender to your charity. . I lay back in the tall grass. And let the ants cover me.
