Lyrics Planned 'O' - Shawn Phillips
Thought
that
I
could
come
to
Columbus
'Twas
a
ship
with
voided
sails
There
seemed
a
cavalier
independence
In
the
way
that
they
told
their
tales
About
the
riots
kin
to
muted
thunder
And
the
bloodfall
of
useless
hail
Yet
they
revelled
in
an
Indian
summer
While
the
sky
was
a
silver
pale
And
no
one
seemed
to
have
an
answer
To
the
things
that
that
entailed
And
she
kept
on
lookin'
at
me
Through
a
veil,
through
a
veil
Simplified
lovers
in
a
whirlwind
Scattered
in
the
sparkling
breeze
Stronger
in
the
mounting
chaos
Praying
on
a
calloused
knee
Acting
out
their
short
devotions
To
the
nonexistent
one
above
Playing
on
the
soul's
emotions
In
the
act
of
making
love
And
it
seems
that
they
have
found
an
answer
In
the
memories
they
recall
And
it
looks
like
we
are
going
to
the
ball
And
in
their
time
they
spoke
of
things
appalling
Of
monarchs
past
and
men
to
come
and
pray
And
though
the
prisoners
were
acquitted
And
the
jury
was
committed
to
be
slaughtered
No
presence
graced
their
passing
on
that
day
Planned
obsolescence
on
a
planet
Begging
for
the
basic
needs
All
we
got
to
do
is
sit
and
plan
it
Leaving
out
the
guilt
of
greed
Soaring
through
the
years
of
fullness
Stillness
in
the
corpse's
repose
Space
is
at
the
edge
of
taking
Peace
is
still
the
only
road
Ain't
nobody
really
going
nowhere
'Till
we
learn
to
bear
the
load
And
I
think
I
feel
a
surging
in
my
soul
Vague
moon
hiding
in
the
winter
Tired
sleepy
people
on
the
prowl
Mountain
standing
so
majestic
Listening
to
the
motor's
howl
Everywhere
children
with
potential
Learn
to
play
the
same
old
games
Etna
gave
a
needed
warning
Hurricanes
do
the
same
Power
to
the
people
to
protect
them
In
the
fast
and
driving
rain
And
I
think
that
we're
about
to
use
our
brain
