Pure and Easy (New York Record Plant Session)

There once was a note pure and easy

Playing so free like a breath rippling by

The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me

Forever we blend and forever we die

I listened and I heard music in a word

And words when you played your guitar

The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering

And a child flew past me riding in a star

As people assemble, civilization

Is trying to find a new way to die

But killing is really merely scene changer

All men are bored with other men's lives

I listened and I heard music in a word

And words when you played your guitar

The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering

And a child flew past me riding in a star

Gas on a hillside, oil in a teacup

Watch all the chords of life lose their joy

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness

The note that began all can also destroy

We all know success when we all find our own dreams

And our love is enough to knock down any walls

And the future's been seen as men try to realize

The simple secret of the note in us all

In us all

I listened and I heard music in a word

And words when you played your guitar

The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering

And a child flew past me riding in a star

Listen

Listen

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)

There once was a note (Listen)
