| Life was a never ending dream
|
| Smiles weren’t always what they seemed
|
| The warm winds they came but drew shivers from me
|
| Cause I always knew
|
| I don’t want to get high in the morning sun
|
| I don’t want to be low when I don’t know where we’ve gone
|
| I don’t want to bathe in the light of another dawn
|
| When we are so far from our home
|
| Old Mother Time, she is looking at me
|
| In these lines won’t you tell me what you see
|
| She said I can tell my young friend you are dying to break free
|
| But you’ll be alone
|
| I don’t want to get high in the morning sun
|
| I don’t want to be low when I don’t know where we’ve gone
|
| I don’t want to bathe in the light of another dawn
|
| When we are so far from our home
|
| So many voices will tell you how to live
|
| So many givers will tell you all about what giving is
|
| So many truths will rain down in the fires of righteousness
|
| Upon the innocent
|
| So I don’t want to get high in the morning sun
|
| I don’t want to be low when I don’t know where hope’s gone
|
| I don’t want to bathe in the light of another dawn |
| When we are so far from our home
|
| And all night long, shadows they come and they’re gone
|
| Moonlight it scatters and forms
|
| Moonlight it scatters and forms (x2)
|
| Deep in your eyes are the patterns of the sea
|
| And on your hands the folds of happiness and misery
|
| And from your mouth streams the music of perpetuity
|
| But there’s a time that you’ll be gone
|
| So I don’t want to get high in the morning sun
|
| I don’t want to lay low when the killing’s being done
|
| I don’t want to bathe in the light of another dawn
|
| Like there is nothing to be done
|
| So take me high (x2) |
