Ode to Mendo

Sitting here in Mendo

Waiting for the tide to turn.

Yeah, now, sitting here in Mendo,

So many things I've got to learn.

Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,

But I know that my faith will lead me on.


Sitting here in Mendo

Waiting for the dice to roll.

Yeah, now, sitting here in Mendo,

Still got some time to search my soul.

Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,

But I know that my faith will lead me on.


I don't know where life will take me,

But I know where I have been.

I don't know what life will show me,

But I know what I have seen.

Tried my hand at the burn but never made it to the spring,

I may yet do it another time round

But for now I find myself on other ground.


Gonna lead me on now.

Meanwhile, they're putting up resistance,

But I know that my faith will lead me on.

Sitting in Mendo, Mendo, Mendo.

Sitting in Mendo, Mendo, Mendo.

Sitting in Mendo, Mendo, Mendo.

Meanwhile, they're putting up a resistance,

But I know that my faith will lead me on.



Lyrics adapted for the Song "Sitting in Limbo" by Jimmy Cliff

This track as covered by Willie Nelson brings back memories of farm life and the coming of fall. Good friends and harvest fires. Peace.
