Terry Callier - Ordinary Joe Lyrics

For my openin’ line
I might try to indicate my state of mind
Or turn you on- or tell you that I’m laughin’
Just to keep from cryin’
Pretty music, when you hear it,
keep on tryin’ to get near it
A little rhythm for your spirit
But that’s what it’s for- c’mon in here’s the door

I’ve seen a sparrow get high
and waste his time in the sky
He thinks it’s easy to fly,
he’s a little bit freer than I

Now here’s a mystery,
maybe you can help to make it clear to me
When you’re fast asleep,
What is it that’s lightin’ up the dreams you see
All your tears can’t conceal it,
all your prayers may not reveal it
You got soul so you can feel it
And when you make the scene,
then you’ll know what I mean
