When I was hoppin' freights and makin' payments on the farm Here between the angels and the deep blue sea You were runnin', laughin', growin' sheltered from the storm Dreamin' of the day the moon would set you free Yeah, to sing your siren song so sweet and warm River run deep River run slow Get a little restless Wanna see some whales blow River run cold River run clear That feeling always gets to me 'Round about this time of year Scoutin' unknown borders under multi-colored moons In the wildest flights of cosmic mystery Rang a single soarin' tone that strung the sky in tune As the silence in my heart rose from the sea Aaah, to greet you in the dawn with a pale harpoon River run restless River run high Runnin' thru a hailstorm Try to catch a star on the fly River run muddy River flow like tears Cocoon of life surroundin' us Holdin' all our hopes and fears Reach behind the wind Search beyond the stars We're the life on Mars When the day grows dark and scary scatterin' the light All the colors run away and hide behind your knees The same sweet thunder tumbles rollin' down the night Like a mothership that calls for you and me Come on, and drift along that sky river bright River run swiftly River run wide Feel like sailin' On the morning tide River run golden River run true Set a course and follow Ooooh, the star that leads to you...

Another incredibly beautiful and poignant song by Mr. Phil Lesh.
Pretty sweet
When I was hoppin' freights and makin' payments on the farm
Here between the angels and the deep blue sea
You were runnin', laughin', growin' sheltered from the storm
Dreamin' of the day the moon would set you free
Yeah, to sing your siren song so sweet and warm
River run deep
River run slow
Get a little restless
Wanna see some whales blow
River run cold
River run clear
That feeling always gets to me
'Round about this time of year
Scoutin' unknown borders under multi-colored moons
In the wildest flights of cosmic mystery
Rang a single soarin' tone that strung the sky in tune
As the silence in my heart rose from the sea
Aaah, to greet you in the dawn with a pale harpoon
River run restless
River run high
Runnin' thru a hailstorm
Try to catch a star on the fly
River run muddy
River flow like tears
Cocoon of life surroundin' us
Holdin' all our hopes and fears
Reach behind the wind
Search beyond the stars
We're the life on Mars
When the day grows dark and scary scatterin' the light
All the colors run away and hide behind your knees
The same sweet thunder tumbles rollin' down the night
Like a mothership that calls for you and me
Come on, and drift along that sky river bright
River run swiftly
River run wide
Feel like sailin'
On the morning tide
River run golden
River run true
Set a course and follow
Ooooh, the star that leads to you...
greet you in the dawn with a pale harpoon? hmmmm
May you stay forever young!
Always forget about this one for a few then come back and realize how much i love it
Who’s singing, is it Phil? Who wrote the lyrics, brand new Dead tune to me. Lyrics are in the description but not information 🌊🌟🌾 2:47
Yes Phil singing obviously

There's a studio version of this?
I was hoping that they'd have this one on the _Ready Or Not_ album, but unfortunately that was not the case... 😕
No, this is one of the songs they did in the 90s before Jerry died and it never got recorded in the studio.
Why wasn't this on the _Ready Or Not_ album?🤔
future realease. also lots of bootlegs of "earthquake country" on the interweb
@@longstrangetrip8799 If I'm not mistaken, I think this was the last original Grateful Dead song...

I suspect Mr. Lesh did not give permission. If the Shoe Fits and Broken Arrow, two latter day Phil staples didn't make it either.
