Richie Havens - All That I Am Now lyrics

I was born in a dusty cloud Fragile and frayed at the edge of sound That's all that I am now I was raised in a great expanse Cradled and kept by an old tree branch That's all that I am now An escapade in blue More false than true You can cut me down but don't cut me out That's all that I am now Good men labor in the noon day dance Blistered and broken by circumstance That's all that I am now So I pa**ed with a pa**ing age Most were lost but some were saved And that's all that I am now
