Henry Jamison Bright And Future Lyrics
Bright And Future by Henry Jamison
'Saints above” she said, with a hand upon my head
And we wheeled over the field under the sky
And I was nineteen and she was twenty-one
And we were high low high low high low high
We were high low high low high
Now a leper kneels and prays
For bright and future airy days
His bandages have all decayed
The sun is beating down
And from the forest flies a bird
A cardinal that's overheard
And understood the leper's words
And become his shocking crown
These are the kinds of things she'd say to me while crying on my shoulder
And I am trying to console her
But we're high low high low high low high
When you're high, you're low, when you're high
And we wheeled over the field under the sky
And I was nineteen and she was twenty-one
And we were high low high low high low high
We were high low high low high
Now a leper kneels and prays
For bright and future airy days
His bandages have all decayed
The sun is beating down
And from the forest flies a bird
A cardinal that's overheard
And understood the leper's words
And become his shocking crown
These are the kinds of things she'd say to me while crying on my shoulder
And I am trying to console her
But we're high low high low high low high
When you're high, you're low, when you're high
