Brad Mehldau - Tom Sawyer Ft Chris Thile Lyrics

A modern-day warrior, a mean, mean stride
Today's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the days of end
The river

(Higher, higher)
What you say about his company is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the gist

The world is, the world is, love and light are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer, he gets high on you
And the space he invades, he gets by on you

[Instrumental Break]

No, his mind is not for him
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes are permanent
But change is
But change is
The world is, the world is, love and light are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
