(Into Weather Report Suite Part I)
Winter rain, n
ow tell me why
,
Summers fade,
and roses die.
The answer
came, the wind
and rain.

Golden hills,
now veiled in
grey,
Summer leaves
have blown awa
y. Now what
remains? The w
ind and rain.
| - - | - - |
And like a des
ert spring,
My lover comes
and spreads h
er wings.
Knowing, like
a song that's
born to soar t
he sky,
Flowing, flowi
ng 'til the wa
ters all are d
ry,
Growing, the l
oving in her e
yes.

Darkness falls

Same old frien

Like a song th

LET IT GROW
Intro:
Morning comes,
she follows t
he path to the
river shore
Lightly sung,
her song is th
e latch on the
morning’s doo
r
See the sun, s
parkle in the
reeds
Silver beads,
pass to the se
a
She comes from
a town where
they call her
the wood cutte
r’s daughter
She’s brown as
the bank wher
e she kneels d
own to gather
her water
She bears it a
way with a lov
e that the riv
er has taught
her
Let it flow, l
et it flow, wi
de and clear

Round and roun
d, the cut of
the plow in th
e furrowed fie
lds
Season’s round
, the bushels
of corn and th
e barley meal
Broken ground,
open and beck
oning
To the spring,
black dirt li
ve again
The plowman is
broad as the
back of the la
nd he is sowin
g
As he dances t
he circular tr
ack of the plo
w ever knowing
That the work
of his days me
asures more th
an the plantin
g and growing
Let it grow, l
et it grow, gr
eatly yield
What shall we
say, shall we
call it by a n
ame
As well to cou
nt the angels
dancing on a p
in
Water bright a
s the sky from
which it came
And the name i
s on the earth
that takes it
in
We will not sp
eak, but stand
inside the ra
/
in
And listen to
the thunder sh
out, "I am, I
am, I am, I am
#
"
Jam on verse pattern
So it goes, we
make what we
made since the
world began
Nothing more,
the love of th
e women, work
of man
Seasons round,
creatures gre
at and small
Up and down, a
s we rise and
fall
