Lyrics

[Intro]
[percussive acoustic guitar strumming with hammer-ons]
[Verse 1]
[male tenor vocals]
So the sun gets nearer every day
I hope you find a place lying shelter all your fears
So at the moon at the door bright and it wasn't quite just right
I leave the bed in my path
Get sick of it in the sky
[Chorus]
Now I'm a ranger and now I'm a fool
I take the road that nobody would
Now I'm a ranger and now I'm a cloud
I can't give them a look if you know what I'm saying tonight
You're probably insane
[Instrumental Break]
[acoustic guitar continues rhythmic strumming]
[Verse 2]
Carry your sack of hours short
I like the older you get
Better you look inside in the prayer shape
If you don't know, if you can't see
If you don't know, if you can't see
If you understand that you're crazy as me
If you don't know, I love why you're free
[Chorus]
Now I'm a ranger and now I'm a fool
I take the road that nobody would
Now I'm a ranger and now I'm a cloud
I could really give a look if you know what I'm trying to say
You're probably already gone
[Outro]
[vocalizing]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh milkmaid, don't get caught in the old man shade
Oh milkmaid, don't get lost in the sunny day
You can fly all the way somewhere else, fly
I know it
Ice cream on corner, ninety degree day makes an old man start to melt
And dream about the ways he used to sit and say
And dance all day in the sun
Comfort is the name, comfort is the name
Everybody feels the same way
We're just trying to figure it all out
And fail every day
[vocalizing]
Oh
[guitar ends on a final strum]
