From the recording Acoustic folk blues, inspired by Chris Smither
Lyrics
I had a dream I had a vision
It was a floating colored flight
Dropped me softly in the ocean
I swam and scrambled for my life
Then I got working in a circus
Got paid for flying through the sky
Upside down my grip was useless
So I fell freely through the night
Chorus
Inside out is just a feeling
Upside down, the air gets thin
When your tangled up in emotions
You don’t remember where you have been
Bridge
Sometimes those feelings seem to just hang around
Walking dark streets in heavy shoes
Life in slow motion
Down in the belly of the blues
But you’re alive, in love and yearning
Just like a mule you kick and fight
The narrow trail might make you nervous
The open road might make you cry
Go live a life with out misgivings
Go have a dream and don’t despair
We’re all climbing over mountains
With any luck, we’re almost there
