john roseboro - crying lyrics

[verse 1]
i sleep on beds of leaves of grass
counting stars and sands of time
this earthen vessel will not last
my ghost will leave its sh+ll behind
for occult realms and other worlds
in other words, i feel that i’m
a pilgrim on a narrow way
a mortal led by the divine
through inner sp+ce and awkward timings
energies and essences
asking all life’s deep questions
like what love is
what turns lead to gold
and my cold heart to flesh
i can feel it in my viscera
my home is somewhere else

[chorus]
i was crying, “the shadows are stretchеd out”
i was crying out, “the shadows are stretchеd”

[verse 2]
with the acuteness of thought
and precision of language
i speak the truth in love
you laugh in self+defense
it’s heaven’s discretion whether you accept
i called this night witness
now choose: life or death
death
[chorus]
i was crying, “the shadows are stretched out”
i was crying out, “the shadows are stretched”
i was crying, “the shadows are stretched out”
i was crying out, “the shadows are stretched”
