letra:
I
built my house from barley rice Green pepper walls and water ice
Tables of paper wood, windows of light And everything
emptying into white
A simple garden, with
acres of sky A Brown-haired dogmouse If one dropped by
Yellow Delanie would sleep well at night With everything
emptying into white
A sad blue eyed drummer
rehearses outside A Black spider dancing on top of his eye Red
legged chicken stands ready to strike And everything emptying
into white
I built my house from
barley rice Green pepper walls and water ice And everything
emptying into white

and it feels like And it seems like yes it feels like A brand
new day, yeah A brand new day oh
I was lost and double
crossed With my hands behind my back I was longtime hurt and
thrown in the dirt Shoved out on the railroad track I've been
used, abused and so confused And I had nowhere to run But I
stood and looked And my eyes got hooked On that beautiful
morning sun
[Chorus]
And the sun shines down all
on the ground Yeah and the grass is oh so green And my heart is
still and I've got the will And I don't really feel so mean Here
it comes, here it comes 0 here it comes right now And it comes
right in on time Well it eases me and it pleases me And it
satisfies my mind

A
letra:
Four and Twenty years ago I come into this life, Son of
a woman And a man who lived in strife. He was tired of being
poor But he wasn't into selling door to door And he worked like
a devil to be more.
A different kind of
poverty now upsets me so Night after sleepless night I walk the
floor and want to know Why am I so alone? Where is my woman,
can I bring her home? Have I driven her away? Is she gone?
Morning comes the
sunrise, And I'm driven to my bed I see that it is empty And
there's devils in my head. I embrace the many colored beast. I
grow weary of the torment Can there be no peace? And I find
myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.

It's
not time to make a change Just relax, take it easy You're still
young, that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find
a girl, settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am
old, but I'm happy
I was once like you are
now, and I know that it's not easy To be calm when you've found
something going on But take your time, think a lot Why, think
of everything you've got For you will still be here tomorrow, but
your dreams may not
How can I try to
explain? 'Cause when I do he turns away again It's always been the
same, same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to
listen Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away I
know I have to go
It's not time to make a
change Just sit down, take it slowly You're still young, that's
your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl,
settle down If you want you can marry Look at me, I am old, but
I'm happy
All the times that I
cried, keeping all the things I knew inside It's hard, but it's
harder to ignore it If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them
they know not me Now there's a way and I know that I have to go
away I know I have to go
