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