lyrics

Waterfalls keep falling
Though they say the water's all gone
That morning bird keeps calling
Long after the break of dawn

Lightning strikes on the prarie
The fields go up in flames
They were not made to carry
These crops we call the same

Tryin’a pull a weed
You gotta pull slowly
Tryin’a build a house you go stone by stone
There ain't no path that we tread lightly
That ain't no way to treat a home

Just like moss growin' on stone
Without soil we build our homes
Pay no mind to the ocean
The rising of the tide

Clock strikes twelve in the hallway
River roars on down the road
This world’s gonna roll off the highway
No longer can she bear this load

Tryin’a pull a weed
You gotta pull slowly
Tryin’a build a house you go stone by stone
There ain't no path that we tread lightly
That ain't no way to treat a home

Waterfalls keep falling
Though they say the water's all gone
That morning bird keep calling
Long after the break of dawn

Tryin’a pull a weed
You gotta pull slowly
Tryin’a build a house you go stone by stone
There ain't no path that we tread lightly
That ain't no way to treat a home

The musicianship--it is ALIVE, PULSING and joyous, sometimes quietly, sometimes raucously, always with their hearts in it. Among all the gems, Old Paint's banjo is one of the most beautiful arrangements ever, and that Cocaine Blues really swings--great fiddling, Josh! lenapple
