Lazy River Road - Grateful Dead

Way down upon Sycamore Slough

A white man sings the blues

Selling roses of paper mache

With flecks of starlight dew

I swiped a bunch and threw it your way

Where hazy moonlight glowed

Way down down along Lazy River Road

Way down upon Shadowfall Ward

End of the avenue

Run, hide, seek in your own backyard

Mama’s backyard won’t do

All night long I sang Love’s Sweet Song

Down where the water flowed

Way down down along Lazy River Road

Moonlight wails as hound dogs bay

But never quite catch the tune

Stars fall down in buckets like rain

Till there ain’t no standing room

Bright blue boxcars train by train

Clatter where dreams unfold

Way down down along Lazy River Road

Way down upon Seminole Square

Belly of the river tide

Call for me and I will be there

For the price of a taxi ride

Night double-clutches into today

Like a truck downshifting its load

Way down down along Lazy River Road

Thread the needle

Right through the eye

The thread that runs so true

All the others I let pass by

I only wanted you

Never cared for careless love

But how your bright eyes glowed

Way down down along Lazy River Road
