Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Scott Murawski
One of the new songs with Robert Hunter lyrics played by Bill Kreutzmann, Oteil Burbridge and Scott Murawski.
One full-frontal black-eyed morning
Near enough to dawn
[Sadness] finds me way back downstream
Too paranoid, too small
Blackbird singer, calling through my
Rough and ready dream
Wake up and it's seven thirty
No coffee for the cream
Wake up from the forests where fanciful and fair
Ladies of the chorus sing, somewhere over there
Never ever trust them, without seeming to refuse
Take the [kiss of love] to trust them, just to touch them, leave the room
Fly away, fly away home
Return when the dead trees bloom
[Hunter's] stock has got so tall
Driven with a brand new moon
It's eternity that is perfect
Happy birthday, friend
We've been twice around the sun, and
Four times there to end
Time creeps by on crooked legs
Almost makes me weep
Like a dog who sits and begs
Of the dreams I'd rather keep
Butterflies drop from the sky so hard they taste like stones
Sheddings wings that cannot fly revealing human bones
I who hangs of ringing steel that's left as time goes by
[Melodies the dead can feel] [as each strap hammer drives]
Fly away, fly away home
Return when the dead trees bloom
[Hunter's] stock has got so tall
Driven with a brand new moon
At my feet you strew such treasure
I have had my fill
Things about you bring no pleasure
Words have all been [tilled]
Broken bodies at my window
Beat upon my sill
I can only turn and go
But I doubt I ever will
Wake up from the forests where fanciful and fair
Ladies of the chorus sing, somewhere over there
Never ever trust them, without seeming to refuse
Take the [kiss of love] to trust them, just to touch them, leave the room
Fly away, fly away home
Return when the dead trees rose
[Hunter's] stock has got so tall
Driven with a brand new moon
Fly away, fly away home
Return when the dead trees bloom
[Hunter's] stock has got so tall
Driven with a brand new moon
Driven with a brand-new moon
Driven with a brand-new moon
Driven with a brand-new moon
