blue wing lyrics
[verse 1]
he had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder
well, it might have been a bluebird, i don’t know
but he’d get stone drunk and talk about alaska
the salmon boats and forty_five below
he got that blue wing up in walla walla
and his cellmate there was a little w_lly john
and willie, he was once a great blues singer
so wing & willie wrote him up a song
[chorus]
they sang, it’s dark in here
i can’t see the sky
but i look at my blue wing and i close my eyes
and i fly away, beyond these walls
up above the clouds, wherе the rain don’t fall
on a poor man’s dreams
[verse 2]
they parolеd blue wing in august of 1963
he moved north, picking apples to the town of wenatchee
and then winter finally caught him, he’s in a rundown trailer park
on the south side of seattle where the days grow grey and dark
and he drank and he dreamt a vision of when the salmon still ran free
and his father’s fathers crossed that wide old bering sea
and the land belonged to everyone, and there were old songs yet to sing
now, it’s narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing
[chorus]
he said it’s dark in here
i can’t see the sky
but i look at my blue wing and i close my eyes
and i fly away, beyond these walls
up above the clouds, where the rain don’t fall
on a poor man’s dreams
[verse 3]
well, he drank his way to l.a., and that’s where he died
and there was no one knew his christian name
and there was no one there to cry
but i dreamed there was a funeral; a preacher and a cheap pine box
and halfway through the sermon old blue wing he began to talk
[chorus]
he said it’s dark in here
can’t see the sky
but i look at my blue wing and i close my eyes
and i fly away, beyond these walls
up above the clouds, where the rain don’t fall
on a poor man’s dreams
[outro]
on a poor man’s dreams
on a poor man’s dreams
