day o day (a love so free)

Singer:hiss golden messenger

the sky was a braid of many colors

and it was snowing just outside the motel down in shreveport

i left my mandolin in the rain in coushatta

that was yesterday time

i took the old path through the white clouds in a shower

i smoked my mind up in the old hotel down in cairo

where i tried to rack up all my tomorrow's tomorrows

and it was just wasted time

o day

o day

o day

o day

now bess can sing it

o day

o day

i'm gonna put all my pain in a bottle

and throw it all the way deep down into the east river

then walk that way with my head up like the poet

with a rose in my jaw

o day

o day

o day

o day

now bess can sing it

o day

o day

with a love so free

a love so free

with a love so free

a love so free

with a love so free

a love so free

with a love so free

a love so free
