Tin Cans Rattling lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Tin Cans Rattling (wherever It Beats) lyrics The tendon-bound back Of the mountains Is where I?m going Past the northlands (to the right of the river-land) With music in my bag And a rhythm in my heart (wherever it beats?) Am I a peddler with tin cans rattling, As I rattle on about the silver I?m selling?! -Chorus- If I?m a boastful axe, Dull me down! And if I?m a tilting glass, Pour me out! You?re calling me to smaller things, With the great love of a peasant King! Wherever it beats? I?m sure you?ve been tracking me Just to be with me, and for no other cause! But dear, this people-and-paper shuffling Rarely lets me pause! How quickly have I been climbing? I?m sure my heart?s been timing it! If I stop the flicker of tin machines And for a moment just be quiet! Maybe I could hear it!.... In the reflection of the glassy mountain I saw a bursting, starry fountain. Could I loose the cords of Orion Or lead the Bear and her children? Who pushed in those thumbtack lights? Wherever it beats, make it right! song lyrics
