Columbus
(Noel Brazil)
Better keep your distance from this
whale
Better keep your boat from going astray
Find yourself a partner and keep them
well
Try to give them shelter night and day
Cause here in the blue light
Far away from the fireside
Things can get twisted and crazy and
crowded
You can't even feel right
So I dream of Columbus
every time the panic starts
I dream of Columbus
with your maps and your beautiful charts
I dream of Columbus
There's an ache in a traveling heart
Seee how the cormorant swoops and
dives
Must be a thrill to go that deep
Down to the basement of this life
Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps
Not like here in the blue light
Far away from the fireside
where things can get twisted and crazy
and crowded
You can't even feel right
So I dream...
As the tide must ebb and flow
I am dragged down under
I wait the livelong day
for an end to my hunger
And I dream...
David Crosby "Thousand
Roads"
