Indio - Life Lies Down Lyrics

From the Album: Big Harvest (1989)





Life Lies Down

Words & Music by Gordon Peterson

I have a dream where I die

I have a dream where I listen

The birds of the morning have sun strange skin

There is a fish on the shore

The same that came down from the river

This is the world of the rose and thorn

Life lies down

and the world still spins round

I lay on for this time I have found…home

Out in the bullrush and steel

The tide has gone and forgiven

For each breath and quiver of sand and stone

Still comes the hum of that bird

A beat of a drum in a meadow

that stays to deliver this sight from limb

Life lies down and the world still spins round

I lay on for this time I have found…home

I have the blood to ride out this storm

If I can just keep the wind under these wings

Like I did once before

Hands on an ocean

I was the sailor

For one more time

Life lies down and the world still spins round

I lay on

for this time I have found…home
