the treasure of treasures
in lightness arrayed
is the result
of mistakes we have made
all those crazy mornings
spent wandering around
i walked into the city
when the fremont bridge was down
coming home at daylight
after a 20-hour day
getting blown out at the paramount
blowing into my own cliche
my mama died my sister died
im singing in a rock and roll band
trying to write a movie
about a song from another land
you were always on my wavelength
i never tuned you out
didnt know you never understood
what the song was all about
i ride my bike into a car
fly face first into the street
then roll into a basement
dark, and try to catch some sleep
ive got one pair of sneakers
and youve got 50 shoes
half the people in the united states
thinkk willie nelson invented the blues
when you look upon me now
it is with contempt and scorn
but once the certainty of love
ensured a star was born
my hands are tied behind my back
the railroad cars are sealed
the tracks are set in bloody steps
across the sacred fields
i was an outcast of the islands
she was a child of the sea
"this is a crime against nature," the thunder protested
"this love is not meant to be"
Had we been born in ancient times
They might have burned us at the stake
But the greatest gifts from heaven
Come from the mistakes we have made
