lyrics

All You Got to Say

I’m coming down from something simple and so sweet,
I’m moving to the higher land
It is quiet, there may be an old and honest man
Painting his visions on the wall
There ain’t no one who can blame him no, who gives a damn
Oh these boots have tread some ground
Mama said if you ever find someone on this wide wide land
Oh you know who really moves you
You got to see them move them ask them for their hand
Know that it’s human to have a doubt

Sirens echo in evil hour we may stand
Beat from love I’m setting out

Oh If you know my name
Won’t you say it to me babe?
If you’re getting on that next train
Do me a favor and look my way
That’s all you got to say

There is a lonesome dove fighting for her right
To head north for the feel of snow
A great soul may wonder atrophy then spring to life
The moon does rise this we know
I seek to dance to weep to see her cotton dress in a dream
It is the same yellow I will awake to
A dumb pilgrim in the morning light I always find
A bit of sky I can relate to

And when the tides of time stop rolling in from life’s hot springs
We’ll bow our heads and bid goodnight

Oh If you know my name
Won’t you say it to me babe?
If you’re getting on that next train
Do me a favor and look my way
That’s all you got to say
