Lyrics Paper Wheels - Trey Anastasio

Paper Wheels

Silence is golden in just one form
I’m gonna say it again
Silence is golden in just one form
Often its dark and its rarely warm
Break it.
You lengthen the list of your crimes
Thinking is loader than speech sometimes
Hoping the words you spoke won’t matter
Silence is gold but easily shattered
Waiting to see what this reveals
Here where the water meets the fields
(Beach packed of angles, sleeping seals) *not sure
Try to drive home on paper wheels
Freedom is great but hard to achieve
I’m gonna say it again
Freedom is great but hard to achieve
Not to be told what we ought to believe
You look at me and say time to move on
One day I hold you the next your gone
Couldn’t you just stay forever with me?
Freedom is great if you want to be free
Waiting to see what this reveals
Here where the water meets the fields
(free jack of angles, sleeping seals) *not sure
Try to drive home on paper wheels
And the sun has legs today
Here in this concert time
And We’ll all speak french someday
And travel that long and crooked line
Religion is cool but I like the old god
Im gonna say it again
Religion is cool but I like the old god
Gone are the days of the staff and the rod
Sometimes he’s vague when i really need help
I feel like a seahorse adrift in the kelp
I pray for my friends who are out in the storm
Looking for a blanket that can keep me warm
Waiting to see what this reveals
Here where the water meets the fields
(Beach pack of angles, sleeping seals) *not sure
Try to drive home on paper wheels
And the sun has legs today
Here in this concert time
And We’ll all speak french someday
And travel that long and crooked line
And the sun has legs today
Here in this concert time
And We’ll all speak french someday
And travel that long and crooked line
(French Monologue)
And travel that long and crooked line.
