lyrics

Curve of the road where that river birch grows
I’ve got three miles to go until I’m home

Heavenly groan clouds just gather and fold
I’ve got reason to fear the open air
There’s cover for taking and words I’d pay money to hear

Bottom is gone what can scatter the crows
It’s every man on his own

Whisper a song for them rays of the sun
That won’t light the losing side
Don’t ever suggest that they might be denied

Buried in stone there’s scholars in coats
Demand your opinions and rate em for truth
Waiting at home I’ve got stories and poems
That speak of a day I envy and praise
I’ll tell you about it as soon as the rain goes away

Curve of the road where that reservoir’s swollen
I’ll soon be on my way
If I ever decide on a road it’s this one I will take
I’ll lean on a river birch and think of whatever I may
