D

the morning in your eyes
Tell me of the ones you saw

as far as you could see
D

Across the plains from field to town,

And of the rusted prison gates

that tumbled by degree

Like laughing children,
C

one by one they looked like you and me

So take off your thirsty boots
G

and stay for a while

your song shall not be failed

just sleeping in the rain.
