Enough To Be On Your Way

歌詞

So the sun shines on this funeral Just the same as on a birth The way it shines on everything That happens here on Earth It rolls across the western sky And back into the sea And spends the days' last rays Upon this fucked-up family So long old pal The last time I saw Alice She was leaving Santa Fe With a bunch of round-eyed Buddhists In a killer Chevrolet Said they turned her out of Texas Yeah, she burned 'em down back home Now she's wild with expectation On the edge of the unknown singing Oh, it's enough to be on your way It's enough to cover ground It's enough to be moving on Home, build it behind your eyes Carry it in your heart Safe among your own They brought her back on a Friday night Same day I was born We sent her up the smoke stack Yes, and back into the storm She blew up over the San Juan Mountains She spent herself at last The threat of heavy weather That was what she knew the best Oh, it's enough to be on your way It's enough just to cover ground It's enough to be moving on Home, better build it behind your eyes Carry it in your heart Safe among your own It woke me up on a Sunday An hour before the sun It had me watching the headlights Out on highway 591 'Til I stepped into my trousers 'Til I pulled my big boots on I walked out on the mesa And I stumbled on this song Oh, it's enough to be on your way It's enough to cover ground It's enough to be moving on Home, boy, build it behind your eyes Carry it in your heart Safe among your own So long, old gal
