the cozy dooryard

[clyde]

call the doctor,call the savior
call those who mocked her,
call your neighbor
when the fire in my eyes goes out

borrow from waits,
allman,reed and the stones
tomorrow but waits,
a talisman,a steed and some bones
when the fire in my eyes goes out

there is no spirit like the Holy Ghost spirit,
no where that i know---ya,ya!
you can't get near it 'cause we all fear it,
we even send out spies
when the fire in my eyes ...goes out

a pea not in a shell,a hosrey doesn't do well
when the fix is in,
your money goes to hell
and sometimes you wish it all away
like when the fire in my eyes goes out

a female jockey,an aristocrat in hockey
some things just don't fit
like a bandage on a mortal wound,a history of man.....and a bit
and the castle, the woods and this catchers mitt
when the fire in my eyes goes out

call a seer,call a griever
make them come and watch and predict,
make them cry and moan their edict
but who would want to?
not now
when the fire in my eyes has gone out
