David Crosby - Vagrants Of Venice Lyrics
Book born vagrants fishing
Endless, aimless in the
Flooded palace where the
King of Venice used to lie
Roof top garden from the
Soil that's blown in and the
Seeds that washed up on the tides
Two young orphans burning
Ancient paintings and
Victorian tables just to
Keep from freezing in the night
They were born here knowing
Tales of mad men swearing
And before them used to lie
All very peaceful now
They have forgotten how
Greed used to drive us to fight
And to climb
Wild people
Nearly feral
Living on what they can find
Just the fish and the fisherman
Mankind, and time
Fearful vagrants fashion
Tools to save them from the
Greed-born slavers that come
Swift on dark sails in the night
Sometimes tyrants passing
Hungry silence are there
No more orphans in their
Flooded world stripped bone dry
Perched like monkeys in the
Triple canopy of a
Crumbling jungle watching
Remnants of another world sail by
All very quiet now
They have forgotten how
Music used to live here
To dance in the minds
Wild people
Nearly feral
Living on what they can find
Just the fish and the fisherman
Mankind, and time

We're blessed!

VAGRANTS OF VENICE lyrics
Book born vagrants fishing
Endless, aimless in the
Flooded palace where the
King of Venice used to lie
Lonely woman plants a
Roof top garden from the
Soil that's blown in and the
Seeds that washed up on the tides
Two young orphans burning
Ancient paintings and
Victorian tables just to
Keep from freezing in the night
They were born here knowing
Nothing other than the
Tales of mad men swearing
And before them used to lie
All very peaceful now
They have forgotten how
Greed used to drive us to fight
And to climb
Wild people
Nearly feral
Living on what they can find
Just the fish and the fisherman
Mankind, and time
Fearful vagrants fashion
Tools to save them from the
Greed-born slavers that come
Swift on dark sails in the night
Sometimes tyrants passing
Hungry silence are there
No more orphans in their
Flooded world stripped bone dry
Perched like monkeys in the
Triple canopy of a
Crumbling jungle watching
Remnants of another world sail by
All very quiet now
They have forgotten how
Music used to live here
To dance in the minds
Wild people
Nearly feral
Living on what they can find
Just the fish and the fisherman
Mankind, and time
Wunderbar.
Simplesmente perfeito.
Heard this on the radio yesterday, its so good!!!
God, it's as if CSN&Y never left! Glad you made this album, guys. Love "Vagrants of Venice." It's so...1969. Be well.
Good times are back...
Really cool! Will get the vinyl
Just when I thought music was dying... here David Crosby and Lighthouse breathe it back to life. I bet this will get Graham Nash to make up with David. Just incredible. This sounds like what Crosby, Stills, and Nash would have sounded like with Joni Mitchell and Jaco Pastorious in the band! ~V~
Exactly!
This song from David Crosby and the Lighthouse Band is simply stunning .... just listen to the lyrics ... ask yourself ... 'can I visualize those orphans in Venice?' .... that's how you know a world class song from just an average one ... it 'takes you on an emotional journey' .... how about that ... travelling through time and space - without having to be an astronaut - Best Song of the Year - by far
Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this. I’ve been searching for this endlessly since his BBC live session the other week on 6 Music. Absolutely beautiful piece of music that fills me with a very odd sense of nostalgia.

Croz has said that these new musicians he's working with are just stunning. After listening to this - who would argue? He's making some of the best music of his life. Don't miss him and The Lighthouse Band this Fall - if you're anywhere near one of the venues they'll be playing at. Go to https://davidcrosby.com for dates.
I am gonna pick this up.
A masterpiece!!!!!...I love this!!!!!.....I have to buy this album!!!!!!
