Jerry Jeff Walker - Then Came The Children слова песни
Paul SiebelWell come gather around me friends of mine, While I sing to you about a minstrel bandOf children in their witches hats, Painting pictures with the pipes of panHow a young boy and his sister played some tunes Upon a whistle made of tinAnd led me through the flower gardens, Laughing at the postman`s stubby chinAnd in my dizzy stupor, I was trying to forfeit all I`d knownAnd listen to that music that could swirl me in a magic all it`s ownBut somewhere in the distance, You and I, we fought our monsters to a drawIt was in those days of books and wine, With Ferlin Getty grasping for a strawAnd out along the highways, We journeyed far to find that mystic smileChasing down identities, My God we must have run a million milesSo we can teach the children, Nothing, nothing but survival in the desert bareThey can teach us how to laugh, How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hairSo sing for us you children, Tinkle bells and rhyme the purple, greens and bluesThink of us as fighting fools, Who wintered through our seasons loving youThink of us as fighting fools, Who wintered through our seasons loving youCause you can teach us how to laugh, How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair
