⚡¸.•*¨*•.¸ Ode to Jerry Garcia ¸.•*¨*•.¸⚡
As bones shake and turtles dance, the rainbow colors glow,
From San Francisco to New York, we wouldn’t miss a show.
Alive but Dead, tie-dyed grilled cheese, pickles on a stick,
The vans were full; this was our life, from city boy to hick.
We rode the train with Casey Jones; we’d stop at Terrapin,
You’d steal my face; stand on the moon,
throw stones then just grin.
What you did could not be done, we would live your love and song,
Some were at the mars hotel and the working man's days were long.
I’d crawl some days from this broken down palace,
but would not fade away,
Bob and Jimi, Janice, Buddy, The Band, they gave you a lot to say
Though your body’s not here,
the sun still shines rainbows in the sky,
Going round and round, feeling bad down the road,
why Jerry did you die?
Uncle Johns not the same, and peter turned black,
now Jed’s in Tennessee,
Stella is blue and the train won't stop, eyes of tears ripple,
we long for what used to be.
We miss you Jerry, love that touch of gray now were walkin’ blues
the peace sign flies, this is the life we choose.
Mushrooms and roses, space, skeletons and bone,
Jerry, if I knew the way, I would take you home. ¸.•*¨*•.¸⚡
