lyrics
sailors count on the water – they think they’ll measure – they think they’ll know
behavior that would seem awkward – you’ll let your hair down – you’re letting go
You think you’re right – why do you bother – why do you bother – when you’re so right
these novelties - doing me favors
it’s good you’re pleased – doing me favors
answers, we’ve sailed beyond answers – caught in your tide pool – you’re letting go
but these sailors – count on the water – they think they’ll measure – they think they’ll know
so you know you’re right – why do you bother – why do you bother – when you’re so right
these novelties – doing me favors
it’s good you’re pleased – doing me favors
I’ll measure water – I’ll measure the wind – that’s all I can do – that’s all I can do
and if you see them – would you remind them – that they know nothing – that they know nothing
behavior that would seem awkward – you’ll let your hair down – you’re letting go
You think you’re right – why do you bother – why do you bother – when you’re so right
these novelties - doing me favors
it’s good you’re pleased – doing me favors
answers, we’ve sailed beyond answers – caught in your tide pool – you’re letting go
but these sailors – count on the water – they think they’ll measure – they think they’ll know
so you know you’re right – why do you bother – why do you bother – when you’re so right
these novelties – doing me favors
it’s good you’re pleased – doing me favors
I’ll measure water – I’ll measure the wind – that’s all I can do – that’s all I can do
and if you see them – would you remind them – that they know nothing – that they know nothing

Purple Mountains

Maybe the best thing David ever did, which makes me extremely sad. A Jews record in all but name, but more direct in its lyricism without losing that indescribable feeling, that beauty and sorrow and lighthearted sarcasm all rolled into one profound set of lyrics that are David Berman. Not to mention the band playing on the record is probably the best Berman ever recorded with. Rest in Peace DCB.
