Lyrics
Up Around The Bend
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.
There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' just as fast as my feet can fly
Come away, come away if you're goin', leave the sinkin' ship behind.
Come on the risin' wind, we're goin' up around the bend.
Bring a song and a smile for the banjo, better get while the gettin's good,
Hitch a ride to the end of the highway where the neons turn to wood.
You can ponder perpetual motion, fix your mind on a crystal day,
Always time for a good conversation, there's an ear for what you say.
Catch a ride to the end of the highway and we'll meet by the big red tree,
