"Remember The Mountain Bed"
F C A#
Do you still sing of the mountain bed we made of limbs and leaves?
A# F C
Do you still sigh there near the sky where the holly berry bleeds?
F A#
You laughed as I covered you over with leaves. Face, breast, hips, and thighs
F A# F
You smiled when I said the leaves were just the color of your eyes
F C A#
Rosin smells and turpentine smells from eucalyptus and pine
A# F C
Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed where tangled wood vines twine
F A#
Trees held us in on all four sides so thick we could not see
F A# F
I could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in me
F C A#
Your arm was brown against the ground, your cheeks part of the sky
A# F C
Your fingers played with grassy moss, as limber you did lie
F A#
Your stomach moved beneath your shirt and your knees were in the air
F A# F
Your feet played games with mountain roots as you lay thinking there
F C A#
Below us the trees grew clumps of trees, raised families of trees, and they
A# F C
As proud as we tossed their heads in the wind and flung good seeds away
F A#
The sun was hot and the sun was bright down in the valley below
F A# F
Where people starved and hungry for life so empty come and go
F C A#
There in the shade and hid from the sun we freed our minds and learned
A# F C
Our greatest reason for being here, our bodies moved and burned
F A#
There on our mountain bed of leaves we learned life's reason why
F A# F
The people laugh and love and dream, they fight, they hate to die
F C A#
The smell of your hair I know is still there, if most of our leaves are blown
A# F C
Our words still ring in the brush and the trees where singing seeds are sown
F A#
Your shape and form is dim but plain, there on our mountain bed
F A# F
I see my life was brightest where you laughed and laid your head...
F C A#
I learned the reason why man must work and how to dream big dreams
F C
To conquer time and space and fight the rivers and the seas
F A#
I stand here filled with my emptiness now and look at city and land
F A# F
And I know why farms and cities are built by hot, warm, nervous hands
F C A#
I crossed many states just to stand here now, my face all hot with tears
F C
I crossed city, and valley, desert, and stream, to bring my body here
F A#
My history and future blaze bright in me and all my joy and pain
F A# F
Go through my head on our mountain bed where I smell your hair again.
F C A#
All this day long I linger here and on in through the night
F C
My greeds, desires, my cravings, hopes, my dreams inside me fight:
F A#
My loneliness healed, my emptiness filled, I walk above all pain
F A# F
Back to the breast of my woman and child to scatter my seeds again
