The Band - Book Faded Brown lyrics

Another autumn night, it's getting chilly Birds are gathering: 'round, getting ready The moon and the sun are both so heavy, barely off the ground He's turning the wheels of his daddy's plow Sowing the land that's been handed down Singing a song from a book that's faded brown. Mary she's on the step, she's waiting Hair is like a light from heaven The family comes together now, believe in what they found Grace is said at the table round A prayer before they settle down Side by side in a book that's faded brown. Have you ever wondered why There's a rainbow in the sky? It's all the tears that God has been crying And it leaves the world And it leaves the world With a rainbow for a crown, oh. Those that said, said they're the outsiders Are only easy riders on a horse that's going lame For the way of the world is upside down They can all hold handswhen they walk through town Side by side with a book that's faded brown. Have you ever wondered why There's a rainbow in the sky? It's all the tears that God has been crying And it leaves the world And it leaves the world With a rainbow for a crown, oh. By the way have I told you already That his parents were buried by a tree that they loved The way of the world is upside down Even the flowers stood without a sound Pressed together in a book that's faded Pressed together in a book that's faded Pressed together in a book that's faded brown. Bound together in a book that's faded brown.
