Delta
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Waking
Stream of consciousness
On a sleeping
Street of dreams
Thoughts
Like scattered leaves
Slowed in midfall
Into the streams
Of fast running rivers
Of choice and chance
And time stops here on the delta
While they dance, while they dance
Instrumental (Pedal Steel Guitar)
I love the child
Who steers this riverboat
Lately he's crazy
For the deep
And the river seems dreamlike
In the daytime
And someone keeps thinking
In my sleep
About fast running rivers
Of choice and chance
And time stops here on the delta
While they dance, while they dance
While they dance Aaahh ...
While they dance da, da, da ...
While they dance da, da, da ...
While they dance da, da, da ...
While they dance, dance river dance
While they dance da, da, da ...
