Elixir

Lyrics

Weightless in water
He came down the river
Floated all the way
Though his bones were shivering
He had the sense to stay

Shoes to walk and stones to throw
The less you speak, the more you know

I had a feeling I was
Buried to my head in sand
I had a feeling I was
Just another piece of the landscape
Picture a century gone by
Hi ho, the king is dead
I had a feeling I was
Weightless in water

She came down the river
My violin
She's got the long hair
Darkened eyes and fingers thin

If you will be my wife
I will marry you
You've got a foot to wear
The garden's shoe

You can ride a horse without a saddle
You can play the banjo out of tune
You can do a dance with the late day shadow
Liquidate the solid state
Of order and of being
And of everything you're seeing in your life

I had a feeling I was
Buried to my head in sand
I had a feeling I was
Just another piece of the landscape
Picture a century gone by
Hi ho, the king is dead
I had a feeling I was
Weightless in water

Skin of the river
Spoke of the herd
You learn more from whispers
Than you do from spoken word

You are the loveliest in all the land
You've got a glove to shake
The summer's hand
