Serpent of Dreams (Live)

Serpent of Dreams (Live) - Jorma Kaukonen

Flowers today bloomin by the pathway

Linin the edge of tomorrow's grave

Bright shinin way livin in the shadows

Tryin to be the master of tomorrow's slave

Down in the mine circled round a diamond

Serpent of your expectations sleeps a nervous dream

Circled so fine like a velvet palace

Whiles away the passing hours not being what he seems

Then he creeps into the night speeding up like fire flight

How he moves into the forest floor

Send away the pace of time leave behind the lonely mine

And the diamond silent on the floor

We cannot stay by the crystal mountain

The serpent of dreams has left his shadow lair

The diamond remains brilliant in its cavern

No one to see and no one left to care

The serpent's friends have come and gone

Down the hills they're movin on

Through the lakes and forests and the dale

They will find tomorrow's rise

Brings them all the bluest skies

Frees the lonesome banshee and his wail

Flowers today bloomin by the pathway

Linin the edge of tomorrow's grave

Bright shinin way livin in the shadows

Tryin to be the master of tomorrow's slave

Tryin to be the master of tomorrow's slave
