Extended Family

Rents are soaring, sirens blast

Old folks living, in the projects

Seems so lonely, seems so tired

Guess their children, all have gone

Behold, cry and be held

Walk through the valley, walk with the spirit

Wake the old man for his treatment

Sit the big chief, in the big chair

(he wore his garment well, he wore his garment well)

Behold, cry and be held

Walk through the valley, walk with the spirit

Walk through the valley, walk with the spirit

Sleep together under one roof

Swapping dream sequences over breakfast

(we made a deal we'd meet back at the spawning ground)

It takes a full lifetime, to get the pillow that you deserve

To get the blanket that you deserve, to get the bed that you deserve

Behold, cry and be held

Walk through the valley, walk with the spirit

Walk through the valley, walk with the spirit
