SONG: Rainfall (3:48) Rainfall on rolling green wavy lines and peacock sheen rainfall on rolling green prettiest world i've ever seen. Faces and places in a highway land beads strung on a silver strand quick silver in a callused hand never a place for the Son of Man. Born under a rainbow sign flash of wave in space and time molten glass and hearts that shine stone to gold in fire refined. SONG: A Montreal Song (4:06) I turned on the TV war news just to look and wonder why. Thunder crashed and red flash-flowers bloomed a nightmare in the sky. So i went down to the cafe just to string myself along. On the way i found some riches -- played the jukebox, got this song. While i sat there a ragged man came -- bummed a coffee, talked awhile. Told me stories full of wonder -- left me laughing like a well-loved child. SONG: Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand (4:53) I've got planets in my palm -- there's a red smear on the sky a star has just exploded somewhere behind my eyes in the dead of night the city seems to break down into tribes you stare at too much concrete -- you forget the earth's alive. Young men see visions and old men dream dreams see them pluck bright pebbles out of circles in the stream life's not always like they tell you in the fashion magazines when i set eyes on wonders, i've got to wonder what they mean. Outside in the starshine you can see beyond the wall so take a look and tell me, can you hear those black holes call? everything is thunder under the celestial waterfall you get close enough to real things -- you don't need your self at all. SONG: Prenons la Mer (2:38) Smoky afternoon light got the sun stuck in my eye it's shouting from the river then it leaps back in the sky Prenons la mer sur les vagues solaires -- toi et moi parmi les esprits de la lumiere. This morning in the past y'know i felt like broken glass now i'm feeling all right knife-sharp as a winter night Prenons la mer... J'ai reve que les abeilles etaient des gouttes de sang du soleil et au ciel des bombardiers pechaient pour nos ames irisees Prenons la mer... SONG: Red Ships Take Off In the Distance (5:15) (Instrumental) SONG: Laughter (3:38) A laugh for the way my life has gone a laugh for the love of a friend a laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world the love that will never end Ha Ha Ha... Let's hear a laugh for the man of the world who thinks he can make things work tried to build the New Jerusalem and ended up with New York Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the sun redballing through the thermal inversion haze a laugh for the nuclear good-time boys numbering all our days Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the newsprint nightmare a world that never was where the questions are all "why" and the answers are all "because" Ha Ha Ha... A laugh for the dogs barking at our heels they don't know where we've been a laugh for the dirty window pane hiding the love within Ha Ha Ha... Tapping our feet to an ancient tune a laugh for the time gone by a laugh for me and Kitty in the delivery room waiting for the child's first cry Ha Ha Ha... (Ottawa June 28/76) SONG: Bright Sky (4:01) Geese come rushing on a river of wind in the bright sky, bright sky Wild music ripples like a wake behind in the bright sky, bright sky Go higher, go higher where the wind is all in the bright sky, bright sky Where the bullets get tired and fall in the bright sky, bright sky They fly out of vision taking part of my soul in the bright sky, bright sky Well, maybe together we can touch down whole in the bright sky, bright sky I never saw the colours in the northern dark in the bright sky, bright sky But there were all those people floating like Noah's Ark in the bright sky, bright sky And we all rush away on a river of wind in the bright sky, bright sky But if i live i'll be coming back again in the bright sky, bright sky (Fort Saint John YT. Sept 18 77) SONG: Feast Of Fools (6:42) At the feast of fools humour can sometimes be cruel but under certain conditions you have to forget the rules At the feast of fools everybody has a voice nobody goes to the bottom except by their own choice It's time for the silent criers to be held in love it's time for the ones who dig graves for them to get that final shove it's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed even by the faceless kings of corporations it's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize which turns out to be nothing. At the feast of fools outlaws can all come home you can wear any disguise you want but you'll be naked past the bone At the feast of fools people's hands weave light there is a diamond wind flowering in the darkest night It's time for the silent criers to be held in love it's time for the ones who dig graves for them to get that final shove it's time for the horizons of the universe to be glimpsed even by the faceless kings of corporations it's time for chaos to win and walk off with the prize which turns out to be (a big fat) nothing. It's time for the singers of songs without hope to take a hard look and start from scratch again It's time for these headlights racing against inescapable dark to be just forgotten It's time for Harlequin to leap out of the future into the midst of a world of dancers It's time for us all to stand hushed in the cathedral of silence waiting at the river's end. (Burritt's Rapid Nov. 6/77) SONG: Can I Go With You (2:30) When you ride out of the shining sky to claim the ones who love you Can i go with you Can i go with you When the angel shouts from the heart of the sun and the living water flows down Can i go with you Can i go with you When the earth and stars melt like ice in the spring and a million voices sing praise Can i go with you Can i go with you (Burritt's Rapid Dec. 9/76) SONG: Nanzen Ji (4:43) Nanzen Ji cooling wind mind swept clean like arctic sand white stone lake crystal clear i walk on the voices of nightingales pine-framed space tiger leaps emerald tea reflects the Lord (Morioka, Japan -- July '77)
