Strum
D-DU-UDU
Tracks in the tall toadflax where he crawled,
Past Dodge Summit toward Athabasca falls,
Practicing his Avocets and Gnatcatcher calls
Walrus trudged along
While low in a lodgepole branch nearby
Barnyard Owl watched with an amorous eye
What unprecedented gift does this afternoon provide?
Ive flown across the sea where the soldierfish swam,
Ive slept inside the shoe of the worlds tallest man,
I saw Charlotte Corday with the knife in her hand;
It was nothing new
Ive perched on Steele, Dakotas sandhill crane
I flew among the Paiutes before the Mormon rain,
I was in Virginia City for the stringing up of Clubfoot Lane
But Ive never seen anything like you.
All untied, by and by!
But Id pour the matrimony wine
All untied, by and by!
so if youre ever so inclined
What from the air now calls to water on the land?
What from my seclusion does this charlatan demand?
What to do now with my best-laid eremetic plans?
Ive been to the Arfaks where the Sicklebills fly,
seen Tangiers acrobatics nine stories high
I was there at Appomattox back in 65 when the General arrived
But Ive never been in this room before!
All untied, by and by!
that same old dreams trapped in my mind
All untied, by and by.
Im bound in ropes and on the firing line
All untied, by and by
well, I wake up disappointed every time
well, I wake up disappointed every time
If the weather ever withers up your vine
Jacob knows a ladder you can climb
If that old thorn is still buried in your side,
Jacob knows a ladder you can climb
Well, if your pacific rivers all run dry
their clouds will fill my loud, corrupted sky
And if the pleasures of your heavens (should) ever end
That very ladder just as well descends!
