On the Levee Greg Brown

You know I used to weep
On the levee
Don't you fall asleep
On the levee

Too or not enough
Moon trying to get up
What's that in your cup
On the levee

Father used to cry
On the levee
Catch me a firefly
On the levee

Put it in a jar
Throw it really far
Like a falling star
On the levee

Whisky on your chin
On the levee
Dreams in your eyes and ears
On the levee

There is no equality
As far as you can see
And you can see eternity
On the levee
