Railroad Earth 'neath The Stars
why do they call her wren? she changed her name to fit
the way that she was feeling thenthen wren, she spilled
some wine, forgot the names they used to call her in
those other times
truly, underneath the stars there are a million ways to
be the way you are . . all of them dying
underneath the rays there'll be a million ways to live
the days ahead . . why are we crying?
if i knock . . what will i say? i know you've been in
your home & i've been far away
when i knock . . who will i be? i know you're a different
you & i've forgotten me
truly, underneath the stars there are a million ways to
be the way you are . . all of them dying
underneath their rays there'll be a million ways to live
the days ahead . . why are we crying?
why not change our names? some things we won't recognize
. . some will remain the same
some people roll a stone . . find out they were never
really even in their home
underneath the stars there are a million ways to be the
way you are . . all of them dying
underneath the rays there'll be a million ways to live
the days ahead . . why are we crying?
there were words . . on my skin . . you touched them &
they woke again . . now they're on the wind . .
