Drift song and slow clouds

DRIFT    Key of C    verse F, C, Dm, G ……Chorus Am, G, Dm, F9, G

VERSE

It will be a long time; it will fade away my friend            

Thorns in the dust come back this way again

Roses In the snow, I had it for a little while

There’s gold wheels in the sky, in the now and way back then

I made a boat of solid heaven, but I’m still afraid to die

I have fashioned all my life, from inside these written lines

I’ve got a sword in the fence, and a thorn of blazing rhyme

And I know there’s Gold wheels, spinning way up in the sky

And that is just the way it is, the way my deal goes down

There’s a river rolling right through me, I’m an empty ghost town

As I absently drift, in the mind of the enemies crown

Comes the dark cold wind, bearing down on me within

CHORUS

It will be a long, long time,

Before you can love again

Without earth there is no heaven

This is the only place to make it right

VERSE

Standing here under, the fallen stars of new snow

Above my old empty bottle, a diamond grave down below

I was lost to it all, but now I’m life found

Inside in the circle, of my timeless space sound

Dreaming here singing in cages of dirt

Black hills and all songs and my unquenchable thirst

Indian words like a long white highway

Everything is written in the almanac of the dead

Whispers of the rain-flowers, trucks asleep in my bed

All and nothing dancing, spinning overhead

It’s just winter sadness and the fields of time

Standing here with my back on the line

CHORUS

It will be a long, long time,

Before you can love again

Without earth there is no heaven

This is the only place to make it right

VERSE

Drifting in sight that only now I cannot see

I know the end of the forest lives forever inside of thee

Songs of water and blood, by the sons dying last light

While the fire in the trees, fills up infinite night

I remember when we walked the moon down

And I ripped a blossom from the branch

Then to be swallowed by the places

Where you do not dare to laugh

 Oh but heaven is a heart

That will love you right back

No matter the time

Or if there is something that you lack

CHORUS

It will be a long, long time,

Before you can love again

Without earth there is no heaven

This is the only place to make it right
