Days up and down they come
And the sleep out of your eyes
It's time to go again, think of all the poetry
Where you been is good and gone
On the things you leave behind
But I'm going to get you babe
So shake the dust off of your wings
All you keep's the getting there
But don't turn none away
I'll be bringing back the melody
And all the rhythms that I find
Some dive into the sea
And I will not do you wrong
We've got the sky to talk about
To live is to fly low and high
Some fall on you like a storm
And you're a gentle man
And time is yours to take
And I waste my share of mine
The bottom's low and the treble's clear
Forget most, remember some
But choice is yours to make
So let's not take too long
Like rain on a conga drum
I'll miss the system here
Nothing is too much to bear
And the world to lie upon
So shake the dust off of your wings
To live is to fly low and high
We all got holes to fill
Sometimes you dig your own
And the holes are all that's real
But it never feels too good
And all the pickin' down the line
Everything is not enough
I may be gone but I won't be long
But it don't pay to think too much
I'm as soft as glass
Some toil upon the stone
It's goodbye to all my friends
Living's mostly a wasting time
