Bar Room Crystal Ball

Bar Room Chrystal Ball
By Jorma Kaukonen
Early this morning someone hot on the line
Says me and my friends are downtown, drinking wine
Trying to help me but they ain’t got time
To see which way I’ve fallen
Well this sawdust’s feelin’ fine, and my body sure don’t mind
This solitary flying,
Past summer’s stare again,
I don’t remember when
This morning feels as if it’s still a part of night
And the dream I had before the last is out of sight
But what I feel between us now gives you the right
To see how far I’ve fallenChorus
Instrumental
One more line before me gonna see me pass
Into the realm of pure imagination last
Before the unsung shower of a lightning blast
Around the house that’s fallen
Chorus
Now I see the form that’s silent on the floor
And nothings gonna be the way it was before
Still I feel the shadow from the pistol’s roar
Above the head that’s fallen
Chorus
