Paper Wheels - Trey Anastasio

Silence is golden in just one form

I’m gonna say it again

Silence is golden in just one form

Often its dark and its rarely warm

Break it.

You lengthen the list of your crimes

Thinking is loader than speech sometimes

Hoping the words you spoke won’t matter

Silence is gold but easily shattered

Waiting to see what this reveals

Here where the water meets the fields

(Beach packed of angles, sleeping seals) *not sure

Try to drive home on paper wheels

Freedom is great but hard to achieve

I’m gonna say it again

Freedom is great but hard to achieve

Not to be told what we ought to believe

You look at me and say time to move on

One day I hold you the next your gone

Couldn’t you just stay forever with me?

Freedom is great if you want to be free

Waiting to see what this reveals

Here where the water meets the fields

(free jack of angles, sleeping seals) *not sure

Try to drive home on paper wheels

And the sun has legs today

Here in this concert time

And We’ll all speak french someday

And travel that long and crooked line

Religion is cool but I like the old god

Im gonna say it again

Religion is cool but I like the old god

Gone are the days of the staff and the rod

Sometimes he’s vague when i really need help

I feel like a seahorse adrift in the kelp

I pray for my friends who are out in the storm

Looking for a blanket that can keep me warm

Waiting to see what this reveals

Here where the water meets the fields

(Beach pack of angles, sleeping seals) *not sure

Try to drive home on paper wheels

And the sun has legs today

Here in this concert time

And We’ll all speak french someday

And travel that long and crooked line

And the sun has legs today

Here in this concert time

And We’ll all speak french someday

And travel that long and crooked line

(French Monologue)

And travel that long and crooked line.
