Cerebral Palsy Blues

from Unarranged by Matt Kaye

lyrics

You‘ve got your stairs, but you can’t climb
and Jacob‘s ladder is mighty high ...
Oh Lord, oh Lord, you made the night too long ...

Your fingers move, but not too fast;
the strings you pluck, the spell you cast ...
Oh Lord, oh Lord, you made the night too long ...

The numbers rise, the numbers fall,
and you walk funny or not at all,
your mama knows, your daddy knows,
but they don’t talk and so it goes ...

You say the words or else you slur them,
but they don‘t know, it’s not their burden ...
Oh Lord, oh Lord, you made the night too long ...

There‘s David’s harp and lion‘s den,
now who’s your buddy, now who‘s your friend ...
Oh Lord, oh Lord, you made the night too long ...

Just listen to the mockinbird,
ghost riders ain’t the devil‘s herd ...
Oh Lord, oh Lord, you made the night too long ...

Big butter, eggmen and silver wings,
the truth, it changes everything ...
Oh Lord, oh Lord, you made the night too long ...
