Call and Respond

from The Portingales (album) by The Portingales

lyrics

The richest freedom I've yet seen
It came to me in a dream
A place where I gave little care
To what others thought of me

I imagined I was such a man
Of boundless wit and golden hands
Who could walk on top of fog
Like newly fallen snow

With every finger in the pie of happiness
Shorn of all disguises

Once a gem fell from the sky
Into my palm--no surprise!
It burned the flesh off of my hand
While I clutched it to my breast

I sat inside the diner late
With a smile upon my face
When I realized nothing's ever lost
Not even wasted time

Both windows down upon the interstate
Barreling feet first into a big mistake
It's all call and respond

Sometimes we all shatter on the rocks
Sometimes we put our head upon the block
Sometimes we all fall away
Sometimes we all fall away
Sometimes we all fall away
Sometimes we all fall away
