Cassidy by Suzanne Vega Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream
I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream
Ah, child of countless trees
Ah, child of boundless seas
What you are and what you're meant to be
Speaks his name, though you were born to me
Born to me
Cassidy

[Verse 2]
Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac
I can tell by the way you smile he's rolling back
Come wash the nighttime clean
Come grow this scorched ground green
Blow the horn, tap the tambourinе
Close the gap of the dark yеars in between
You and me
Cassidy

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Quick beats in an icy heart
Catch-colt draws a coffin cart
There he goes and now here she starts:
Hear her cry
Flight of the seabirds
Scattered like lost words
Wheel to the storm and fly

[Outro]
Fare thee well now
Let your life proceed by its own design
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Fare thee well now
Let your life proceed by its own design
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Done with mine
Flight of the seabirds, scattered like lost words
Wheel to the storm and fly
