If I fell off to sleep
and did not wake would the lord my soul to take?? And could the land that I've know also die? Do you think of you and wonder why? Down in Leatherwood that thought we'd leave behind Down in Leatherwood Country love's gonna steal your mind and we aint never gonna be blue........ be blue... Was a house all flooded by the rain or did I once live it in a dream of throwing all good minutes to the sea? Did you know the sky could also bleed? Down in Leatherwood that thought we'd leave behind Down in Leatherwood Country love's gonna steal your mind and we aint never gonna be blue....... be blue... |

(HARPSICHORD INTRO)
just about a hundred years or so ago ten men rode their way down the mighty colorado and as I read about their journey I couldn't help but feel a very similar yearning to mr. powell and I wish that I could have been there with him the way he talked about the river, I could tell the revelations he must have felt within himself, the realization of what man's supposed to do, I feel it too (FLUTE SOLO) as they would ride over the waves as they would glide over the waves the river forged its way through canyons that were so high that the clouds would float within them cascade fountains moss surrounded on through a gorge grand beyond description and the river rolls and like a whirlpool it sets my mind to spinnin' can you imagine walls that went so high the sky would be nothing more than a single thin blue line and rocks would rainbow their way up to the sky as they would ride over the waves as they would glide over the waves you'd hear them singing, singing ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh...

(ACOUSTIC GUITAR INTRO)
the dolphins live in the open sea and the gypsies live in the forest while the owls and the crows and the sure foot does still live like those before us (MANDOLIN DITTY) and the oak and the pine and the sycamore shines and the day spins round like a feather and the sawmill whines and the bluebird dines and the song goes on forever (HARP DITTY) (OBOE SOLO) now the old folk tell of an ancient bell somewhere sunk in the meadow but the shepherd there with the snow white hair just sings in the evening shadows and no one knows where the clear creek goes when the moonlight fades in the forest but the peacock screams and the gypsy dreams of a time gone by before us (OBOE SOLO) round and a round and a round and a round round and a round and a round round and a round and a round and a round round and a round and a round...

sometimes I know how good it feels to be as free as a rolling wheel cause then you just appear to me within the shapes of things I see when I leave I watched an eagle way up high makin' circles in the sky I watched a river passin' by I've see it all from time to time in your eyes (GUITAR & KEYBOARD STUFF) I've listened to the birds in spring while taking walks in the late evening and seen the clouds writing in the wind in you it all begins and ends (KEYBOARD STUFF) Lyrics are copyright 1975, 1976 Larry Lee & John Dillon |

out on the sea, there is an island out on the sea, there is a place out on the sea there's a wave with the power to save all the sailors from the dark and the deep we used to dance in the shadows under the moon's pale light away from home and all alone turning away into the night and she would shine like a diamond trapped in a clear crystal ring and the tears in my eyes were the stars in the sky fading away when she would sing out on the sea, there is an island out on the sea, there is a place out on the sea there's a wave with the power to save all the sailors from the dark and the deep Lyrics are copyright 1975, 1976 John Dillon & Elizabeth Anderson |

(PIANO & GUITAR INTRO)
fast asleep in the garden the rain is gone away somewhere in the margin are sheep that's gone astray like the old man of the ocean whose eyes tells where he's been or one who lacks devotion betrays his love again the thief will surely die when he's taken all he can steal oh whippoorwill are you high upon your hill while my feet are on the ground oh whippoorwill you make my heart stand still when I hear your evening sound (PIANO & STRINGS) I know you're sad, much deeper then my human ears can hear you never had a keeper cause you live where no man's near you call from out the timber like a chanter on a throne only to remember the secret still unknown and makes us to decide are we false or are we real oh whippoorwill are you high upon your hill while my feet are on the ground oh whippoorwill you make my heart stand still when I hear your evening sound when I hear your evening sound when I hear your evening sound Lyrics are copyright 1975, 1976 Randle Chowning |

Standin' in the trees
I get lifted by the leaves And carried away by the wind Turning around I touch down on the ground And i'm drifted away again You've got to fly away on home Halleluiah Fly away Fly away on home Get carried away by the wind Looking out my window Reflections of a rainbow As the evening rain comes down Trumpets start to blow And when them stars start glowin' And my head gets lost in the sound You've got to fly away on home Halleluiah Fly away Fly away on home When that evening rain comes down You've got to fly away on home Halleluiah Fly away Fly away on home When that evening rain comes down Let your head get lost in the sound When that evening rain comes down, fly away! |
