Climber
|
(David Crosby)
|
|
[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar and Percussion)]
|
|
The heat of the stone against your face
|
The incredible presence of mass
|
The clink of the metal the hiss of the rope
|
The sky like a piece of blue glass
|
He clings to the rock with the feeling reversed
|
As if he holds the whole earth in his hands
|
He loosens a pebble and hangs there quite silent
|
Listening to his heart 'til it lands
|
Listening to his heart moved by his art
|
Up the wall, up the wall
|
His life in his hands who knows where it lands
|
Up the wall, up the wall
|
|
[Instrumental (Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Mandolin)]
|
|
They say climb if you want to climb because it's there
|
Climb 'cause you're a man
|
I say live on the wings of what's possible here
|
Climb it because you can
|
Spirit of mountain (Spirit of man) spirit of man
|
The Sioux said they both had their place
|
Here on the ledge (Here on the edge) looking over the edge
|
I can feel it on my face
|
Listening to his heart moved by his art
|
Up the wall, up the wall
|
His life in his hands who knows where it lands
|
Up the wall, up the wall
|
|
[Instrumental (Piano, Acoustic and Electric Guitar)]
|
|
So I listen now to this spirit of mine
|
Floating in clean air and then
|
I face to the west and I speak to the sun
|
And I say thank you quite softly again
|
Listening to his heart moved by his art
|
Up the wall, up the wall
|
His life in his hands who knows where it lands
|
Up the wall, up the wall
|
|
[Instrumental Ending (Piano, Acoustic and Electric Guitar)]
|
|
Up the wall
|
Up the wall
