Townes Van Zandt - Catfish Song (Into) Lyrics
Down 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 that's flown awayWell, to meet is like springtimeand to love's like the summerher brown eyes shone for nobody but methen autumn forever, the fool come a fallin'and the rain turned to freezin' inside of me.I'll kindle my fires with the wordsI can't send youand the roads I can't followand the songs I can't singWell, all you young ladieswho dream of tomorrowwhile you're a listenin'these words will I sayCling to today with its joyand its sorrowyou'll 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 autumnshe's blue and she's goldenand the angel of winterwon't 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 that's flown awayThere lies a bluebirdthat's flown away
