BAR ROOM CRYSTAL BALL
(Jorma Kaukonen)
Early this mornin' someone hot on the line
said "Me and my friends are downtown, drinkin' wine."
They're tryin' to help me but they ain't got time
To see which way I've fallen
Well this sawdust's feelin' fine
My body sure don't mind this solitary flyin'
Past summer's stare again
I don't remember when
This mornin' feels as if it's still a part of night
And the dream I had before the last is out of sight
But what I feel between us now gives you the right
To see how far I've fallen
Well this sawdust's feelin' fine
My body sure don't mind this solitary flyin'
Past summer's stare again
I don't remember when
One more line before me gonna see me pass
Into the realm of pure imagination last
Before the unsung shower from a lightenin' blast
Around the house that's fallen
Well this sawdust's feelin' fine
My body sure don't mind this solitary flyin'
Past summer's stare again
I don't remember when
And now I see the phone that's silent on the floor
And life ain't gonna be the way it was before
'Cause still I feel the shadow from the pistol's roar
Above the head that's fallen
Well now this sawdust's feelin' fine
My body sure don't mind this solitary flyin'
Past summer's stare again
I don't remember when
