Pure And Easy (Original Version)

There once was a note

Pure and easy

Playin' so free, like a breath rippling by

The note is eternal

I hear it it sees me

Forever we blend

And forever we die

I listened and I heard

Music in a word

And words when you played your guitar

The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering

And a child flew past me riding in a star

As people assemble

Civilization

Is trying to find a new way to die

But killing is really

Merely scene changer

All men are bored

With other men's lies

I listened and I heard

Music in a word

And words when you played your guitar

The noise I was hearing was a million people cheering

And a child flew past me riding in a star

Gas on the hillside

Oil in the teacup

Watch all the chords of life lose their joy

Distortion becomes somehow

Pure in its wildness

The note that began all

Can also destroy

We all know success

When we all find our own dreams

And our love is enough

To knock down any walls

And the future's been seen

As men try to realize

The simple secret of the note in us all

In us all

I listened and I heard

Music in a word

And words when you played your guitar

The noise I was hearing was a million people cheering

And a child flew past me riding in a star

There once was a note

Listen! ...
