Lyrics

Gurgling spring above me sings
to greet the morning sun.
Dangle my feet in Black Earth Creek and watch the brook trout run.

Petra plays on most sunny days
at night she lies in lace,
'till Rumsfeld schemes take childhood dreams and throw them in her face.
What a sad disgrace.

Photographs and epitaphs don't
leave you much to say
to holy priests and demon beasts and war you have to pay
for ashes cold and gray,
cold and gray.

[Bridge]
I see you there with long white hair below a false cast
well worn scud
and I see you there a bald baby bare crawling through the mud, crawling through the mud, crawling through the mud.

Billy plays on most sunny days
at night he runs his race.
While addict schemes take childhood dreams and throw them in his face,

On Black Earth Creek.
