Jefferson Lyrics & Chords By David Berkeley

Jefferson, I heard your tears fall down over the fall of the rain.
What is you and I? We're never that much the same.
Rain on the road across the Delaware, nearly washed us away.
How come philosophy folds in the light of the day?
How come the leprosy ate everything away?
A piece of the west broke away.

A piece of the west broke away
away, yeah
We are worn like the river stones
away
away, yeah
We are bones on the river stones
Washed up like the river stones.

In Bethlehem, a baby boy was born -- born to build a bomb.
What was the fighting for, who remembers the song?
The boy was king, he was a prodigy; in love with everything.
Why did the kingdom come and spit on everyone?
And why the confusion, son, the closer we cling to the gun?
The fall of the west begun.

A piece of the west broke away
away, yeah
We are worn like the river stones
away
away, yeah
They are bones on the river stones
Washed up like the river stones.

In Pennsylvania, there's a bridge that broke -- the water washed it on by.
What is you and I, ? under the tide.
Jefferson we should have listened, should have answered the call.
But what did you want from me? Now the west will fall.
And who did you hope to be? Now the west will fall.
Yeah, now the west will fall.
Yeah, now the west will fall.
Yeah, now the west will fall.

Now the west fall
away, yeah
We are worn like the river stones
away
away, yeah
They are bones on the river stones
Washed up like the river stones
Rattle the river stones
We are worn like the river stones.
