From the recording Time to Fly
Lyrics
The Devil’s in the courtyard
There’s no money to be made
The Devil’s in the courtyard
He’s hiding in the shade
Singing where does the time go
Under the weeping limb
Jewel and Uncle Harold
Take the sinner in
Come on Violet,
Come on Blue,
Come on remember
the love that you knew.
Come on Violet,
Come on Blue,
Dreamer of the dream
I dream only of you
It’s Easter morning,
light upon the land
The sun is rising
Over the flower stand
The earth and the quiet
feed the hungry man
Mama and her children
Walking hand in hand
Come on Violet, Come on Blue,
Come on remember
all the love that you knew
Come on Violet,
Come on Blue,
Dreamer of the dream
I dream only of you
The Devil’s in the courtyard
there’s no money to be made
The Devil’s in the courtyard
He’s hiding in the shade
He’s shaking in his boots
He’s hiding in the shade
So cool
in the shade
So cool
in the shade
So cool
