|
I never knew you |
|
But then who really did? |
|
If you were at all like me |
|
You managed to keep yourself hid |
|
A patchwork quilt of a life |
|
Memories embroidered |
|
On your soul |
|
So please forgive me |
|
For putting you in my song |
|
But the spirit she moves me |
|
In fact she pushes me along |
|
It's a patchwork quilt of a life |
|
Can't stop the river |
|
Just let it roll |
|
We were at Jones Beach |
|
When we got the word |
|
Saddest sound that I ever heard |
|
The bluest note that nobody could play |
|
Ravens sang with us that night on the stage |
|
Tears of sadness, tears of rage |
|
But nobody spoke, we all felt old |
|
And in the way |
|
So walk beside me |
|
Or above me, I don't know |
|
These days it sure seems |
|
I'm lost where ever I go |
|
God, how could you, I heard someone say |
|
And what do we do with our lives now anyway? |
|
Now that our North Star can no longer be found |
|
But there's a banjo moon in a tie-dyed sky |
|
Hippies dance and babies cry |
|
Church bells ring as a silver-haired angel look down |
|
And the blood of his music runs through the veins of our guitars |
|
Bright lights, Dark Star |
|
I never knew you |
|
But then who really did |
|
If you were at all like me |
|
You managed to keep yourself hid |
