David Crosby - Slice Of Time Lyrics
A slice of time, curling, peeling
Back from the edge of the knife.
Light fluttering as if between two trains
Motordrive frames of life.
Long blends of days stream into nights
Consciousness barely coping.
The land going by seems level
But really the tracks are increasingly sloping.
Images, images, images, images
Arranged against a blank wall
Images, images, images, images
Telling the truth to us all.
Pluck out a day, a week or an hour
Hold it up, hold it up to the light.
Freeze the frame, really look at the faces
With all of your sight.
See the eyes looking at you
Immerse yourself into that minute.
My teacher said time is elastic
I wonder just what I’ll find in it.
Images, images, images, images
Arranged against a blank wall
Images, images, images, images
Telling the truth to us all.
A slice of time, curling, peeling
Back from the edge of the knife.

2014, how did I miss this incredible song. Gotta check out the whole album.
I was wondering what ever happened to GOOD music !
There are no words to express how the lyrics and music of the body of work touches my heart and soul..And, I just shake my head that so many are not listening..Wayne Cook I so agree with you..such an honour to be here..and, I thank God for ears that hear..really hear. Thank you David Crosby and fellow musicians..more than my mere words can say.
My god...this is one of your best! Stunning material, bro!!
Fantastique! Great stuff there David...on my second listenng
