Heart With Wings - Trocadero

Ponderosa pine

Makes me pine and ponder, wonder and opine

About the time

About the purple Black Hills

South Dakota thunder blues

While I’m heavily grounded in my Fluevog shoes

So I sing these blues

Thoroughly soaked with some reddish hues

It’s music for the living

Words for the dead

and it’s quarter note triplets for the tears that our parents bled

I discovered art, when I saw your face

An abundance of lovingly crafted words

From your heart with wings

And your mouth that sings

And the fear that you hide and what that fear brings

From California, to istanbul

And those silver little thoughts, that sound so cool

Near your ear can your hear

This long transmission from my busted short wave radio gear

You have got a heart with wings

You have got a soul that sings

Ancient battles, killed the land

They made Sitting Bull sit, but he stood like a man

And his blood flows in the smoke that I smoke

When Black Elk speaks, they were words I spoke

You have got, a heart with wings

You have got, a soul that sings

That thursday, I clipped my hunter’s gun,

And I watched its silver bullets melt in the sun

Like the wax from the fake angel’s wings

You’re the one yeah you’re the real thing

You have got, a heart with wings You have got, a soul that sings You have got,

a heart with wings You have got, a soul that sings
