Sunblind

Lyrics

[Verse 1] For Richard Swift For John and Bill For every gift lifted far before its will Judee and Smith For Berman too I've met the myth hanging heavy over you I loved you long You rose to go Beneath you, songs, perfect angels in the snow So time to stage Forget reserve The type of great coronation you deserve [Pre-Chorus] I'm going out for a weekend I'm gonna borrow a Martin or Gibson With Either/Or and The Hex for my Bookends Carrying every text that you've given [Chorus] I'm gonna swim for a week in Warm American Water with dear friends Swimming high on a lea in an Eden Running all of the leads you've been leaving [Verse 2] I'm overmatched (For Arthur Russell) I'm half as wise (Duncan and Curtis) If this is flat, brother, I apologize (Jimi and David, for Nick and Otis) No one alone (For Bell and Buckley) Can leave the cave (Marvin and Adam) And all you've loaned won't be kept inside a grave (For Arthur Russell, for Arthur Russell) [Chorus] I'm gonna swim for a week in Warm American Water with dear friends Just intending that I would delight them Swimming high on a lea in an Eden [Refrain] So I dream, dream So I dream, dream [Chorus] I'm gonna swim for a week in Warm American Water with dear friends Swimming high on a lea in an Eden Running all of the leads you've been leaving [Verse 3] And in your rarified air I feel sunblind I'm looking up at you there high in my mind Only way that I made it for a long time But I'm loud and alive, singing you all night, night [Outro] Warm American Water
