I'm building a new home 'cross the county line
I'm building a new home 'cross the county line
Up on a high hill where the view's so fine
Down in the lowlands water taste like turpentine
Down in the lowlands water taste like turpentine
I'm going up the country
Where it taste liked cherry wine
I made a piece of money, but I won't say how
I made a piece of money, but I won't say how
Bought my own forty acres
My own mule and breaking plough
Bought my own forty acres
Don't have to scrape and bow
I heard a voice talking like a radio in my head
I heard a voice talking like a radio in my head
I'm about to tell you just what it said
Keep your feet on solid ground, by and by
Put your feet on solid ground, by and by
When the river gets to rising you'll be high and dry
Yeh, when the river gets to rising you'll be high and dry
I'm building a new home ‘cross the county line
I'm building a new home ‘cross the county line
Up on a high hill where the view's so fine
Up on a high hill, leave this old shack behind
Yeh, yeh...
Little white, little white, little white
Little white, little white,
Little white, little white, little white lie (two times)
In a little white lie I said I love you
In a little white lie you said I love you too
And we both settled in for the night
On the strength of a little white lie
Hey, don't you know love came through
Made that little white lie come true
Oh, true love grew from a little white lie
In a little white lie I said I need you
In a little white lie you said I believe you
And we both let down our hair
Cause we told each other we care
Now don't you know love came through
Made that little white lie come true
Oh, true love grew from a little white lie
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
didn't I say I love you from the start
I had no idea how much love there was here in my heart
And the deeper and deeper I fall
Makes it seem it was nothing at all
But a little white lie on that night
When we said it was love at first sight
Oh, it turned out so right
From a little white lie
And the deeper and deeper I fall
Makes it seem it was nothing at all
But a little white lie on that night
When we said it was love at first sight
Oh, it turned out so right
From a little white lie
Little white, little white, little white,
Little white, little white, little white,
Little white, little white lie (two times)
In a little white lie, in a little white lie,
In a little white lie (three times)
La-la-la-la-la-la- love came through (fade)
Part of a dream, still hurtin'
Hurtin' in my left eye
And I know I'm gonna have to make a last try
But if I'm back in California
Before the snow flies
I'll see you then
I got no plans outside from livin'
Livin' till tomorrow
And I'm gonna run with every minute I can borrow
And when I pay back all my dues
And lose the sorrow
I'll see you then
Oh, yes I'll see you then, babe
'Cause I am lost
Yes I am lost
I'm lost, lost, lost, forever
Beyond your help and tender kindness
I cannot see beyond my cherished blindness
You must admit
We really, really had a nice ride
There was mornin' after mornin'
Before love died
And if I never kiss you lips again
On this side
I'll see you then
Oh, yes I'll see you then, babe
I'll see you
Down goes the daily sun
Taking daylight with it when it's gone
Longer shadows bend into the night
Wait for morning to regain the light
Sunrise we do depend
On the morning light as it ascends
Brillance from the dusk is born
into daylight that it now adorns
Rotation Spinnin' spinnin round
Rotation Power so profound
Turning without sound
I'm standing on the ground
Speelbound
Round and round we go
Where we come from no one knows
Time spins the karmic wheel
Endless secrets waiting to reveal
Inside where no one hears
Silent hours take away the years
Ticking seconds slowly fade away
Come tomorrow to be yesterday
Love is how we came to be
And only love will set us free
Like a sailor sailin' on the sea
The spinnin' wheel brings you back to me babe
Rotation Spinnin' spinnin round
Rotation Power so profound
Turning without sound
I'm standing on the ground
Speelbound
