Townes Van Zandt - Catfish Song Lyrics
By townes van zandtDown at the bottom of that dirty ol riverDown where the reeds and the catfish playThere lies a dream as soft as the waterThere lies a bluebird thats flown awayWell, to meet is like springtimeAnd to loves like the summerHer brown eyes shone for nobody but meThen autumn forever, the fool come a fallinAnd the rain turned to freezin inside of me.Ill kindle my fires with the wordsI cant send youAnd the roads I cant followAnd the songs I cant singWell, all you young ladiesWho dream of tomorrowWhile youre a listeninThese words will I sayCling to today with its joyAnd its sorrowYoull need all your memoriesWhen youth melts away.Well, the angel of springtimeHe rides down the southwindThe angel of summerHe does just the sameThe angel of autumnShes blue and shes goldenAnd the angel of winterWont remember your nameDown at the bottom of that dirty ol riverDown where the reeds and the catfish playThere lies a dream as soft as the waterThere lies a bluebird thats flown awayThere lies a bluebirdThats flown away
