Saw a bird with a tear in his eye
Walking to New Orleans my oh my
Hey, now, Bird, wouldn’t you rather die
Than walk this world when you’re born to fly?
Liberty- – Grateful Dead
Some days the gales are howling
Some days the sea is still as glass
Ooh reef the mainsail
Ooh lash the mast
You’re lost sailor
You’ve been too long at sea
Now the shore-lights beckon
Yeah there’s a price for being free
Yeah the sea birds cry
There’s a ghost wind blowin’
It’s calling you to that misty swirling sea
Till the chains of your dreams are broken
No place in this world you can be
Lost Sailor- Grateful Dead
If you could see my heart
You would know it’s true
There is none, Cérise, except for you
Except for you
I swear to it on my very soul
If I lie, may I fall down cold
The truth of love an unsung song must tell
The course of love must follow blind
Without a look behind
Reuben walked the streets of New Orleans till dawn
Cérise so lightly in his arms
And her hair hung gently down
Reuben And Cérise- Grateful Dead
[For Bush]
Mississippi river, so big and wide
Blonde-headed woman on the other side
Now she’s gone, gone, gone and I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sittin’ on top of the world
Sittin’ on Top of the World- Grateful Dead
[For the rest of us]
All the years combine
they melt into a dream
A broken angel sings
from a guitar
In the end there’s just a song
comes crying like the wind
through all the broken dreams
and vanished years
Stella Blue- Grateful Dead
