The Earth Is Broken Tim Buckley

Oh now my brother's been taken away
Gone are the old times when we used to say
Oh a woman was younger she knew what to do
Oh but I look around me, now that's not so

I'm lost on that open road no peace do I find
Maybe the wind'll blow a melody and ease my mind

But soon love is broken, they'll take you away
Oh the wars they been growing as no relief
And the old men who ruled them oh they're just like thieves
They rob from the sunshine, oh the air ain't so clean
Our rivers are dirty where once we could see

A smile from your lady friend looking down
Look at that river hey did you ever shiver
Well the earth is broken there is no one to save

I remember quite freely only yesterday
Ah the letter that I read from you read this way
Take care lonesome Timmy, ah don't you start
Thinking you're the only one year that's gone
Out on your lonesome road hey lend a hand to your friend
Yes he's just as lonely and the wind keeps you cold

Remember the rivers that once did flow clean
