Walking on the Levee
Summer Sunday morning, no one else around I'm walking on the levee, between the river and the town Water's moving fast, streets are slow Gonna go a little farther, past the part I know
Wasp on the grass, a floating red thorn Sun coming up, day being born
In that big house last night where I played my guitar Everyone's still sleeping off what they drank at the bar Or are they making quiet love 'neath the turning of a fan— Did they wake to the sound of dogs barking at a man?
I grew up down the road, it's been 40 years Walking on the levee now, I'm a stranger here Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Read the graffiti on the pump station wall: “I heart Amber” in a red sprayed scrawl “Did you ever have a dream you're sure was real?” “What does God hide—what does God reveal?”
Her daddy had a houseboat docked right down there I still remember her kiss, the smell of her hair That boat burned and sank 25 years ago Karen died by lightning strike, I was told
Walking on the levee, pretty ghost at my side The past and the present all caught in my eye
