Lyrics
jeremiah’s on the mountain
babette is cookin’ up a feast
i would walk a thousand miles
to meet the man who planted all those trees
to meet the man who buried every seed
to meet the man who turned the whole world green
let it go, let it fall
where to stop, if at all
jeremiah’s fighting old wounds
babette is making people dream
like elzaird planting new trees
one rides high in a frozen breeze
one lies peaceful with his seed one pours wine and melts a table of greed
let it go, let it fall
where to start’s the only worry i got
all these books, all these words
i don’t know the pages to turn for the way, for the day
and jeremiah’s weeping
for the whole world he’s keepin’ the sorrow and prayin’ for tomorrow
jeremiah needs the quiet
babette is stirrin’ turtle soup
i recall her washing windows
it seemed a foolish thing to do
but it seems to me the more she knew
to wipe the dust and let the sun come through
so just let it go, let it fall
where to stop’s the only worry I got
all these books, all these words
i don’t know the pages to turn
for the way, for the day
for the way, for the day
fall away, fall away, fall away
