Song information

Artist: Grateful Dead
Album: Live Dead

Lyrics

High green chilly winds and windy vines
In loops around the twisted shafts of lavender
They're crawling to the sun

Wonder who will water all the children of the garden
When they sigh about the barren lack of rain and
Droop so hungry neath the sky

Underfoot the ground is patched
With army arms of ivy wrapped around the manzanita
Stark and shiny in the breeze

William tell has stretched his bow till it won't stretch
No furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before

No more time to tell how, this is the season of what
Now is the time of returning with our thought
Jewels polished and gleaming
Now is the time past believing the child has relinquished the rein
Now is the test of the boomerang tossed in the night of redeeming

Seven faced marble eyed transitory dream doll
Six proud walkers on the jingle bell rainbow
Five men writing with fingers of gold
Four men tracking down the great white sperm whale
Three girls waiting in a foreign dominion
Riding in the whalebelly, fade away in moonlight
Sink beneath the waters to the coral sands below
