Grateful Dead - Childhood's End lyrics

When I was hoppin' freights and makin' payments on the farm

Here between the angels and the deep blue sea

You were runnin', laughin', growin' sheltered from the storm

Dreamin' of the day the moon would set you free

Yeah, to sing your siren song so sweet and warm

River run deep

River run slow

Get a little restless

Wanna see some whales blow

River run cold

River run clear

That feeling always gets to me

'Round about this time of year

Scoutin' unknown borders under multi-colored moons

In the wildest flights of cosmic mystery

Rang a single soarin' tone that strung the sky in tune

As the silence in my heart rose from the sea

Aaah, to greet you in the dawn with a pale harpoon

River run restless

River run high

Runnin' thru a hailstorm

Try to catch a star on the fly

River run muddy

River flow like tears

Cocoon of life surroundin' us

Holdin' all our hopes and fears

Reach behind the wind

Search beyond the stars

We're the life on Mars

When the day grows dark and scary scatterin' the light

All the colors run away and hide behind your knees

The same sweet thunder tumbles rollin' down the night

Like a mothership that calls for you and me

Come on, and drift along that sky river bright

River run swiftly

River run wide

Feel like sailin'

On the morning tide

River run golden

River run true

Set a course and follow

Ooooh, the star that leads to you
