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