Beggar's Moon - Chris Robinson Brotherhood

A beggars moon, Enough to light my way

Sieve and scissors, Dogtooth sisters, Snow and rain

Laid down in a dark wood dreaming

Woke up to the sunlight streaming down

Through the redwood trees

Lazy bones, Pinky rings

Stale champagne and an empty bed

For the comedown king

Blood from a cherry, Sand from a rose

Do what you will or do what your told

Just don’t, ask me to name names

Drain that barrel, Fill that pipe

Let the big red head do her dance all night

Backbeat mama make you feel all right

Groove’n it loose when I’m getting to tight

And in the dark days

When’s there’s a cold on the ground

Black water churning

Beckoning you come down

Hitched my ride to the Showboat Queen

Went overboard in New Orleans

Good lord will’n, That sun gonna rise and

Shine a light on this mystery

Faded days, Lunar and suede

Dreamless night in the white walled room

Of no escape

Thoughts in a tangle love for a loss

Stars on the ceiling coins to be tossed

And bones, to be laid away

Torn from love, left in disgrace

Hunted and haunted but still with a smile

On my face

Angry sun, turquoise sky

Silver tears the longest spoon the whitest lie

Look down your noses build more fences

The will is the wisdom to come to our senses

And see the open space inside
