Day O Day (A Love So Free)

The sky was a braid of many colors
 And it was snowing just outside the motel down in Shreveport
 I left my mandolin in the rain in Coushatta
 That was yesterday time
 I took the old path through the white clouds in a shower
 I smoked my mind up in the old hotel down in Cairo
 Where I tried to rack up all my tomorrow's tomorrows
 And it was just wasted time
 O day, O day
 O day, O day
 Now Bess can sing it
 O day, O day
 I'm gonna put all my pain in a bottle
 And throw it all the way deep down into the East River
 Then walk that way with my head up like the poet
 With a rose in my jaw
 O day, O day
 O day, O day
 Now Bess can sing it
 O day, O day
 With a love so free
 A love so free
 With a love so free
 A love so free
 With a love so free
 A love so free
 With a love so free
 A love so free
