Dick's Licks

You said it was there in the empty air
In a shape you could distill
And you turned it into golden waters
You turned it into silver threads
Singing never ending stories
Dancing lights on dawning webs
Jazz and Blues with holes in your shoes
You said it was there so we all could share
In a place that was so real
Running, falling, crashing, calling
Your shadow from the deep
Flying, driving, crying, diving
Not much time to sleep
Running, falling, crashing, calling
Your shadow from the deep
Flying, driving, crying, diving
Not much time to sleep
And you turned it into glowing castles
You turned it into crazy rooms
Spending non-existent money
On bottled echoes of the moon
R&B are funky and so very free
You said it was there in her shining hair
That’s the way it made you feel
