The Long Beds: Listen

Shaman girl on the sidewalk
With your baby at your side
Could you love a man in blue jeans
Tattered shirt and cluttered mind
Bottom line
Given time
We’ll be fine

I am staring at the canyon
I am bringing you to mind
I am looking for an answer
I see rocks and sky and time
And I find
As the raven flies
So do I

chorus
Hey Baby, I am straight ¾ time
Hey Baby, I can be deaf, dumb and blind
But I fly, high
I fly, high
I fly, high ... a true line
I walk the line

Boatman can you read the river?
I hear rapids ‘round the bend
Steady hand on the tiller
A little luck and a little dread
Vows are said
Now I lay my head
On the wedding bed

And should I grow to be an old man
Chasing echoes of your heart
I’ll close my eyes and see us walking
In New Orleans after dark
You and me
Cheek to cheek
New Orleans
