tule's blues

oh tule

it's on account of you that i've been weeping

here behind my hand

it's lonesome in my heart's land

as the sands of the desert

oh

tell me

why was it always you

who

through the changes

you

who always sang and played while the green vespers rang

in the heart of the hillside

it's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other

you and me

sweet and slightly out of key

like the sound of a running down calliope

oh tule

it's once i was your knight in golden armor

with the sun behind my hair

my music filled the air with symbols and lightning

oh tule

now can't you see i'm changing like the seasons?

my hair is growing dark

and there's no room left in the ark for a lark with a broken wing

it's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other

and a child's voice

so tender and out of tune

keeps a'praying i'll be singing home soon

oh tule

it's on account of you that i'll be leaving

'cross the deep salt sea

whatever wild worlds i may see

will be empty without you

it's a sad song we always seem to be singing to each other

and a child's voice

so tender and out of tune

keeps a'praying i'll be singing home soon
