Testo Houdini Blues Kristin Hersh
you'll hear me in the wind.
I been on the other side of the Blue Ridge
seen the Shenandoah rolling there
I stepped off the mountain's edge
just to climb the golden stair
I seen the streets up there
I been on the mount transfiguration
been there with my ma and my pa
on the mountain of commandment
I been handed down the law
you should have seen what I saw.
I fell to the bottom of Thales' well
caught like a thief with a lamb
you know those stars they can cast a spell
I been caught with red hands.
I scaled the mountains skiied the valleys
I've done the highs and the lows
I don't feel like work today
hell I won't go.
Bess I won't go.
Just let me at their locks
we should all be free
oh Bess I swear I'll call
when I'm free from me
we should all be free.
