Lyrics:

I had a dream I could fix anything
That was broken or had been harmed
So I refused to stand on the mountain grand
When I held Isaac in my arms

And god he awoke and the angels drew smoke
From the fire of the senseless wrath
You fell through, and my might did too
And I want it back

Oh the folding grandeur of the world in its age
You held like a crystal and dropped like a vase
And when the time came to saddle up and ride
Goodbye, cowboy, see you on the other side
You said, goodbye, cowboy, see you on the other side

So I guess its defeat, running cloverleaf
When the bull bucks its last
And you lie there with tousled hair
Cursing lots you cast

And it's lots of laughter and lots of charm
Before the feeling goes
But my patience grows thin I fear when your ship comes in
It’ll be embargo

Oh the folding grandeur of the world in its age
You held like a crystal and dropped like a vase
And when the time came to saddle up and ride
You said, goodbye, cowboy, see you on the other side
Goodbye, cowboy, see you on the other side
Goodbye, cowboy, see you on the other side

Lyrics:
Oh the wellspring runs into a wide river
And beyond that is the edge of the world
And beyond that are the songs never written
The ones that fade when you sing the words

Oh my baby she don't need nothing
Except to feel how she felt way back when
And my soul it don't need nothing
Except to feel that she felt it
There are diamonds scattered around this old house
The kind we used to walk by
And the buck moon it don't need nothing
Except a tune and a waltz in the light

Oh Reichelt woke one morning
With the thought of flying woven into his mind
So he jumped from the tall tower
But the wind never caught him and he fell blind

Oh my baby she don't need nothing
Except to feel how she felt way back when
And my soul it don't need nothing
Except to feel that she felt it
There are diamonds scattered around this old house
The kind we used to walk by
And the buck moon it don't need nothing
Except a tune and a waltz in the light

Oh my baby she don't need nothing
Except to feel how she felt way back when
And my soul it don't need nothing
Except to feel that she felt it
And the buck moon it don't need nothing
I swear all we cling to is dust and ash
The buck moon it'll think funny
Think of us funny when we've long passed
