Saint Of Circumstance

Grateful Dead · Beyond Description 1973-1989 [2005]

This must be heaven, tonight I cross the line

You must be the angel, I though I might never find

Was it you I heard singing, oh, while I was chasin' dreams

Driven by the wind, like the dust that blows around

And the rain fallin' down but I never know



Got to be heaven 'cause here's where the rainbow ends

If this ain't the real thing, then it's close enough to pretend

When that wind blows when the night's about to fall

You can hear the silence call, it's a certain sort of sound

Like the rain fallin' down



Hole's in what's left of my reason, hole's in the knees of my blues

Odds against me been increasin' but I'll pull through

I never could read no road map, I don't know what the weather might do

But when that rich wind whines and I see the dark star shine

I got a feeling there's no time to lose, no time to lose



Never know now, just don't never know, no

Well it's been heaven but even the rainbows will end

Now my sails are fillin' and the wind is willin'

And I'm as good as gone again



I'm still walkin', so I'm sure that I can dance

Just a Saint of Circumstance, just a tiger in a trance

And the rain fallin' down, well, you never know, just don't know

Listen, sure don't know what I going for, but I'm gonna go for it for sure
