A.k.a The Executioner's Song
(Jesse Winchester)
I live on a big blue ball
I never do dream I may fall
But even the day that I do
I jump off and smile back at you.
I don't even know where we are
But they tell us we're circling a star
Well, I'll take their word I don't know
But I'm dizzy so maybe that's so.
--- Instrumental ---
I'm ridin' a big blue ball
I never do dream I may fall
But even the high must lay low
So when I do fall I'll be glad to go.
--- Instrumental to fade ---
