Sliding Down

(album: Somebody Besides Yourself - 2000)

Pink raspberry wine and jasmine tea
Smoke is swirling from a smokeless indigo glass
Feeling kinda' fine and almost free
Burning September grass and reading Brautigan's poetry
Watermelon sugar ecstasy
A hemisphere of clouds fall all around me

I'm sliding down through a multicolored spiral
I'm spinning round while the world is lying on its side
But I'm winding down to a peaceful revolution
I don't have to shout
I don't need to find an answer
Cause I found a solution
Yeah, Yeah I found a solution
Yeah, Yeah Love is washing out the air I breathe
Making wishes out of dandelion weeds
Hope is floating in a soapstone jar
Peace is showing in all the places there used to be war
Chocolate candy wrapped in cellophane
It's there for you to use to dull the pain
If you need some

With the warm sunrays it could break a moving storm
Touched by purpled haze you'll swear you've been reborn
When your trip is done
Keep on moving down the road
Cause the trail keeps going on and on and on and on and on

I found, I found, I found a solution
I found, I found, I found a solution
Hope is floating in a soapstone jar
Peace is showing in all the places there used to be war
