Blues For Allah

Your rain falls like crazy fingers
Peals of fragile thunder keeping time
Recall the days that still are to come some sing blue.
Hang your heart on laughing willow stray
Down to the water, deep sea of love
Beneath the sweet calm face of the sea swift undertow.

Life may be sweeter for this, i don't know,
See how it feels in the end.
May lady lullaby sing plainly for you soft, strong, sweet and true.
Cloud hands reaching from a rainbow tapping at the window, touch your hair
So swift and bright strange figures of light float in air.

Who can stop what must arrive now? something new is waiting to be born
Dark as the night you're still by my side shine inside .
Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride.
Gone are the broken eyes we saw through in dreams gone, both dream and lie.

Life may be sweeter for this, i don't know,
Feels like it might be all right,
While lady lullaby sings plainly through you love still rings true.
Never could reach it, just slips away but i try.

Paradise waits, on the crest of a wave, her angels in flames.
She has no pain, like a child she is pure, she is not to blame.
Poised for flight, wings spread bright, spring from night into the sun.
Don't stop to run, she can fly like a lie, she can't be outdone.

Tell me the cost; i can pay, let me go, tell me love is not lost.
Sell everything; without love day to day insanity's king.
I will pay day by day, anyway, lock, bolt and key.
Crippled but free, i was blind all the time i was learning to see.

Help on the way, well, i know only this, i've got you today.
Don't fly away, cause i love what i love and i want it that way.
I will stay one more day, like i say, honey it's you.
Making it too, without love in a dream it will never come true.

There's mosquitoes on the river fish are rising up like birds
It's been hot for seven weeks now,
Too hot to even speak now, did you hear what i just heard?

Say it might have been a fiddle or it could have been the wind
But there seems to be a beat now i can feel it my feet now
Listen here it comes again!

There's a band out on the highway, they're high steppin' into town
It's a rainbow full of sound, it's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
Everybody dancin' c'mon children, c'mon children, come on clap your hands.

Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine,
You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, lord
The band kept us too busy we forgot about the time.

They're a band beyond description, like jehovah's favorite choir
People joining hand in hand while the music played the band, lord
They're setting us on fire.

Crazy rooster crowin' midnight, balls of lightin' roll along
Old men sing about their dreams, women laugh and children scream
And the band keeps playin' on.

Keep on dancin' thru the daylight, greet the mornin' air with song
No ones's noticed, but the band's all pack and gone. was it ever there at all?
But they keep on dancin' c'mon children, c'mon children, come on clap your hands
Well the cool breeze came on tuesday, and the corn's a bumper crop
And the fields are full of dancin' full of singin' and romancin'
The music never stopped.
