Not in the mind are the waves crashing hotly Steam baths of time wake first unsettled in their skin The king - though naked - wears his robes only Comforted by the power society has given him Yet to wake unafraid fair weather on the street A high orange yellow moon corn in the fields waving Purity on the tips of her dry winter worn fingers A path toward defenselessness to part from restlessness Who each man wanes to be yearns to live longer And the man who is who is without effort Understands that the struggle through life Is the only true one worth mentioning and fighting for Empty gun shells from the law man and on his books The empty hills play with mans mind as the coyote cries Ah' diamond black bay sprinkled with maddening brilliance A ship sails with only a captain but no crew You smile as if you have been here too long But I know inside your pride says you've just arrived Careless heart wavering in the wind like a lost kite Dust settles on your bed as the woman's gone off And left with herself instead of you Each claim you carry is a weight that ****** you like a tack And everything you hate is everything you lack Don't ask me to carry you cause' I don't have any slack The boat that carries us was not meant to take us back And as I said fear is only the start of what is yet to come The gold in the riverbed has its own dangerous song And where you are headed Is where you have always belonged

Take it from Mine
Not in the mind are the waves crashing hotly Steam baths of time wake first unsettled in their skin The king - though naked - wears his robes only Comforted by the power society has given him Yet to wake unafraid fair weather on the street A high orange yellow moon corn in the fields waving Purity on the tips of her dry winter worn fingers A path toward defenselessness to part from restlessness Who each man wanes to be yearns to live longer And the man who is who is without effort Understands that the struggle through life Is the only true one worth mentioning and fighting for Empty gun shells from the law man and on his books The empty hills play with mans mind as the coyote cries Ah' diamond black bay sprinkled with maddening brilliance A ship sails with only a captain but no crew You smile as if you have been here too long But I know inside your pride says you've just arrived Careless heart wavering in the wind like a lost kite Dust settles on your bed as the woman's gone off And left with herself instead of you Each claim you carry is a weight that ****** you like a tack And everything you hate is everything you lack Don't ask me to carry you cause' I don't have any slack The boat that carries us was not meant to take us back And as I said fear is only the start of what is yet to come The gold in the riverbed has its own dangerous song And where you are headed Is where you have always belonged
