On The Levee Lyrics

Greg Brown

Ain't no history
On the levee
Don't you fall asleep
On the levee

Too much or not enough
I'm tryin to get it up
What's that in your cup?
On the levee

Polly used to cry
On the levee
Catch me a firefly
On the levee

Put it in a jar
Throwin it really far
We're like a falling star
On the levee

Whiskey ale all in our chin
On the levee
Dreams in your eyes again
On the levee

There's no equality
As far as you can see
You can see eternity
On the levee

They crucified poo Christ
On the levee
Not just once or twice
On the levee

He mumbled a few words
Which no one really heard
They left him for the birds
On the levee

You can see the other world
On the levee
Make love to your girl
On the levee

Blueberries and gingham girls
All come tumbling down
Never make a sound
On the levee

We're trying to get by
On the levee
Water's getting high
On the levee

Now the river and the rains
Dark is one of those things
Nothing lives long in chains
On the levee
