Leo Kottke Lyrics for Song: Bean Time
 Lyrics for Album: Leo Live [1995]
 
 
 
 26399>I heard your voice at midnight
 
 By the river shore
 
 I saw your child sleeping
 
 Behind an open door
 
 The moon was in the river
 
 Shining up from the floor
 
 And the fish swam like moonlight
 
 Through your child's closing door
 
 And morning is the long way home
 
 
 
 The fisherman was drowning
 
 By his broken heel
 
 His screams were tiny bubbles
 
 And his tongue made of steel
 
 When he died his teeth made stones
 
 For your lonely child to feel
 
 And his eyes like prayers were quiet
 
 When you heard his tongues of steel
 
 And morning is the long way home
 
 
 
 The ghost of ghosts was passing
 
 And the grasses waved like hair
 
 I knew I'd die forgotten
 
 I'm the whisper of your care
 
 The water would surround me
 
 And my body would despair
 
 But my heart would understand
 
 The door that's closing there
 
 And morning is the long way home
 
 26399>
