For my openin’ line |
| [00:20.89] |
I might try to indicate my state of mind |
| [00:25.60] |
or turn you on |
| [00:27.31] |
or tell you that I’m laughin’ |
| [00:31.38] |
just to keep from cryin’ |
| [00:32.96] |
pretty music, when you hear it, |
| [00:37.30] |
keep on tryin’ to get near it |
| [00:41.52] |
a little rhythm for your spirit |
| [00:45.44] |
but that’s what it’s for |
| [00:47.55] |
c’mon in here’s the door |
| [00:50.00] |
I’ve seen a sparrow get high |
| [00:53.60] |
and waste his time in the sky |
| [00:57.38] |
he thinks it’s easy to fly |
| [01:00.61] |
he’s just little bit freer than I |
| [01:04.26] |
Now here’s a mystery |
| [01:07.11] |
maybe you can help to make it clear to me |
| [01:11.39] |
When you’re fast asleep |
| [01:14.63] |
and than what is that’s lightin’ up the dreams you see |
| [01:19.68] |
all your tears can’t conceal it |
| [01:23.50] |
all your prayers may not reveal it |
| [01:27.62] |
you got soul so you can feel it |
| [01:31.31] |
and when you make the scene |
| [01:33.69] |
then you’ll know what I mean |
| [01:35.96] |
I’ve seen a sparrow get high |
| [01:39.53] |
and waste his time in the sky |
| [01:43.16] |
he thinks it’s easy to fly |
| [01:46.66] |
he’s just little bit freer than I |
| [02:12.78] |
Down here on the ground |
| [02:15.83] |
when you fine folks are givin’ you the runaround |
| [02:20.15] |
keep your game up up-tight |
| [02:23.45] |
and if you must just take your secrets underground |
| [02:28.30] |
now, politicians try to speech you |
| [02:31.78] |
mad color watchers try to teach you |
| [02:36.32] |
very few will really try to reach you |
| [02:39.68] |
if you’re lost in the stack |
| [02:42.70] |
that’s ok come on black |
| [02:44.26] |
Now I'd be the last to deny |
| [02:46.82] |
that I'm just an average guy |
| [02:51.94] |
and don't you know each little bird in the sky |
| [02:56.01] |
Is just a little bit freer than I |
| [02:59.10] |
Ordinary Joe, Although they say you’re just a lazy so and so |
| [03:05.97] |
what they think is real |
| [03:09.56] |
is nothing but an animated puppet show |
| [03:14.68] |
So don’t let time and space confuse you |
| [03:18.41] |
don’t let name and form abuse you |
| [03:22.15] |
let Big Joe Williams blues you |
| [03:25.97] |
in the light of the sun you can see how they run |
| [03:30.57] |
I’ve seen a sparrow get high |
| [03:34.12] |
and waste his time in the sky |
| [03:37.65] |
Don't you know he thinks it’s easy to fly |
| [03:41.57] |
he’s just little bit freer than I |
