(David Crosby and Dean Parks)
|
[Intro. (Acoustic Guitar)]
|
|
Charlie was a message from a higher place
|
Waiting for delivery could see it in his face
|
Charlie was a cloud layer held a mountain in his hands
|
Flew like a raindrop didn't like to land
|
|
Charlie didn't like crowds all up in his face
|
He was a long distance runner in the human race
|
|
Charlie was a vision stick to your mind
|
Like a big wet kiss on the face of time
|
Charlie had a dog friend best old friend he had
|
Didn't understand good, didn't know about bad
|
|
Good is a concept like a loaf of bread
|
Feed the living say grace for the dead
|
|
Charlie was eating food for thought
|
It was the best damn meal that he ever got
|
|
Feeling ethereal
|
He floated away
|
He did not worry
|
He did it twice a day
|
|
Charlie was a message
|
