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