Grateful Dead - Childhood's End lyrics

When I was hoppin' freights and makin' payments on the farm Here between the angels and the deep blue sea You were runnin', laughin', growin' sheltered from the storm Dreamin' of the day the moon would set you free Yeah, to sing your siren song so sweet and warm River run deep River run slow Get a little restless Wanna see some whales blow River run cold River run clear That feeling always gets to me 'Round about this time of year Scoutin' unknown borders under multi-colored moons In the wildest flights of cosmic mystery Rang a single soarin' tone that strung the sky in tune As the silence in my heart rose from the sea Aaah, to greet you in the dawn with a pale harpoon River run restless River run high Runnin' thru a hailstorm Try to catch a star on the fly River run muddy River flow like tears Cocoon of life surroundin' us Holdin' all our hopes and fears Reach behind the wind Search beyond the stars We're the life on Mars When the day grows dark and scary scatterin' the light All the colors run away and hide behind your knees The same sweet thunder tumbles rollin' down the night Like a mothership that calls for you and me Come on, and drift along that sky river bright River run swiftly River run wide Feel like sailin' On the morning tide River run golden River run true Set a course and follow Ooooh, the star that leads to you
