David Crosby Columbus Lyrics

Columbus Lyrics

{by Noel Brazil)







Better keep your distance from this whale



Better keep your boat from going astray



Find yourself a partner and treat them well



Try to give them shelter night and day



'Cause here in the blue light



Far away from the fireside



Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded



You can't even feel right







So I dream of columbus



Every time the panic starts



I dream of columbus



With your maps and your beautiful charts



I dream of columbus



There's an ache in a traveling heart







See how the cormorant swoops and dives



Must be a thrill to go that deep



Down to the basement of this life



Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps



Not like here in the blue light



Far away from the fireside



Where things get twisted and



Haunted and crowded



You can't even feel right







So I dream of columbus



Every time the panic starts



I dream of columbus



With your maps and your beautiful charts



I dream of columbus



There's an ache in a traveling heart







As the tide must ebb and flow



I am dragged down under



I wait the livelong day



For an end to my hunger







So I dream of columbus



Every time the panic starts



I dream of columbus



With your maps and your beautiful charts



I dream of columbus



There's an ache in a traveling heart
