Bill's River Blues
Little Feat

Once moved mountains

Now in the rear view mirror

Divine compromise has taken root

Hand held and guided

To each destination

Robbed of my powers but not of my mind

What's left behind is left behind

The promise in your eyes

Is what I remember

Forbidden yet so tempting

Oh I surrender

The knock on the door had us

Jumpin' out of our skins

I couldn't take it anymore

What's left behind is left behind

There's a light upon the river

From the new moon in the east

It shines way down the valley

And gives me peace

It's the light and the river

They give me peace

The winds that blow

All around here are constant

Up from the south they blow warm and strong

Last year they blew off

My neighbor's roof

It's still layin' in that old open field

What's left behind is left behind

There's a light upon the river

From the new moon in the east

It shines way down the valley

And gives me peace

It's the light and the river

They give me peace

There's a graveyard

In the mountain

Covered in snow

The stones lie there in silence

Beneath the ground

Chalk white bones

The souls circle the sun

They play with the moon

Live amongst the stars

Their reflections on the river

Are gifts to your heart

You have those days

When the truth be told

S'like rollin' and stumblin'

Fallin' down a old gopher hole

Storm overhead lets loose its

Hail and lightning

Weathered and worn torn and afraid

And what's left behind

Is left behind
