Serpent Of Dreams — текст песни (Hot Tuna)

(Jorma Kaukonen)
Flowers today bloomin` by the pathway;
Linin` the edge of tomorrows grave.
Bright shinin` way,
Livin` in the shadows,
Tryin` to be the master of tomorrow`s slave.
Down in the mine, circled `round a diamond;
Serpent of your expectations,
sleeps a nervous dream.
Circled so fine, like a velvet palace,
Whiles away the passing hours;
Not being what he seems.
Then he creeps into the light;
speeding up like fire flight,
Now he moves across the forest floor.
Send away the pace of time;
Leave behind the lonely mine,
and the diamond brilliant on the floor.
We cannot stay by the crystal mountain;
Serpent of dreams has left his shadow lair;
Diamond remains, brilliant in its cavern;
No one to see and no one left to care.
Sepents friends have come and gone,
down the slopes they`re movin` on,
through the lakes and forests and the dale.
They will find tomorrow`s rise,
brings them all the bluest skies,
Frees the lonesome banshee and his wail
