The Tallest Man On Earth - Little River lyrics
[The Tallest Man On Earth - Little River lyrics]
Well there is somethin' 'bout the quiet
Upliftin' laughter
You just spent so many years
Chased by a cloud, oh
And it's taken you so far
Far past the cliff's edge
And now your feet just poke
Around to feel the ground, oh
You say, "Is this a joke?" I float, "Come on
Now" you see there's somethin' down below
Just let me fall to be of use
Make me the rainstorm
Or just a piece of hail, you know
You said, "All the time it needs to take"
And all the time there's a
Shiver from some fallen tear
But is it honest like a fallen log
To dream of things like a little
River to the golden ground?
And there is somethin' 'bout the quiet
Surprisin' darkness
You just sing about your own
Death in your closet
You stumble out into the pitch-black hallway
You think you've lost so many times
Though it's not war yet
You say, "Are these my eyes?"
You said, "Come on, now
Already lost my sense to feel"
But there is always someone out
There who will listen
And then there's nothin' but a dream
You said, "All the time it needs to take"
And all the time there's a
Shiver from some fallen tear
But is it honest like a fallen log
To dream of things like a little
River to the golden ground?
And there is somethin' 'bout the
Leavin' of a lover
You think you knew through all the
Years you've been a woman
And he's steppin' out and walks
Out of the garden
Where all the lilies and the weeds
Came from his cold hand
You say, "Is this my life?"
You said, "Come on, now"
I see the diamonds when you yell
"I let you stay in all the corners
I have been here
But now you travel, go to hell"
You said, "All the time it needs to take"
And all the time there's a
Shiver from some fallen tear
But is it honest like a fallen log
To dream of things like a little
River to the golden ground?
Upliftin' laughter
You just spent so many years
Chased by a cloud, oh
And it's taken you so far
Far past the cliff's edge
And now your feet just poke
Around to feel the ground, oh
You say, "Is this a joke?" I float, "Come on
Now" you see there's somethin' down below
Just let me fall to be of use
Make me the rainstorm
Or just a piece of hail, you know
You said, "All the time it needs to take"
And all the time there's a
Shiver from some fallen tear
But is it honest like a fallen log
To dream of things like a little
River to the golden ground?
And there is somethin' 'bout the quiet
Surprisin' darkness
You just sing about your own
Death in your closet
You stumble out into the pitch-black hallway
You think you've lost so many times
Though it's not war yet
You say, "Are these my eyes?"
You said, "Come on, now
Already lost my sense to feel"
But there is always someone out
There who will listen
And then there's nothin' but a dream
You said, "All the time it needs to take"
And all the time there's a
Shiver from some fallen tear
But is it honest like a fallen log
To dream of things like a little
River to the golden ground?
And there is somethin' 'bout the
Leavin' of a lover
You think you knew through all the

And he's steppin' out and walks

But is it honest like a fallen log
To dream of things like a little
