Little Spirit
Late in the night I can sometimes hear it / come on little mama let me ride your spirit / ride on to the spot where the tree line / meets the great elastic sky / up on a hill where the rocks are eroding / we can sit for a day and watch the world exploding / ride on little spirit / ride on ‘til the day that you rise / ride on little spirit / ride on ‘til the day that you rise / down on my knees / gotta crawl to get near it / then I jump to my feet and I rustle your spirit / ride on to the spot where the maple trees / are children in disguise / and they know how to dance and they know what they’re doing / and we’re happy to sip on the syrup they’re brewing / ride on little spirit / ride on ‘til the day that you rise / ride on little spirit / ride on ‘til the day that you rise / I’ve got enough to keep me occupied / to keep me roped and tied / all my whole life through / I’ve heard the sad birds of your spirit sing / they sing about everything / lost inside of you / hear a strange noise and you’re tempted to fear it / come on little mama let me soothe your spirit / ride on to the spot where the wind is stirring / wheat fields ten feet high / if we’re gonna eat bread / then we gotta get baking / there’s a lot of good love / you and me could be making / ride on little spirit / ride on ‘til the day that you rise / ride on little spirit / ride on ‘til the day that you rise.
