One Vessel -- Willie P. Bennett- Live at Saengerhalle, New

[Takwish]

Lyrics (3)

-----

How can we face the future

Where the truth is vandalized

Unless I look into myself

How can I criticize

When thoughts like love and thoughts like hate

Meet headlong on a trestle

Oh come the day when all our tears

Are gathered in one vessel

[Takwish]

Lyrics (2)

-----

Standin' down by the crossroads (water)

The devil's by my side

He wants me to trade my peace of mind

But all I got left is pride

The traffic's fast and life is hard

And every thought's a mess, oh

Oh come the day when all our tears

Are gathered in one vessel

[Takwish]

Lyrics (1) Listening to the three versions on YouTube, here's what I can make out: ----- Sittin' down by the water Watching the currents spin Every leaf and every twig Of this life I'm a livin' For every rock's a building block And every breath's a (?) Oh come the day when all our tears Are gathered in one vessel

[rugshort]

And every breath's a wrestle?

[MandolinJackFlatt]

I'm a fan - a new fan; this guy was amazing! What a loss!

[FearlessUnless]

every thoughts a mess though

[rugshort]

Any idea of the lyrics to this song? I've recently uploaded a vid of Danny George Wilson playing a banjo who sings into it at the end of the song, so was surprised to find this through Noah Zacharin's profile. Really great. I shall search for more of Willies stuff.

I was going to go to his web site and grab you the lyrics but I can't get past the opening page right now. I've contacted the guy who I think looks after it...when I get them I'll post them here.

[rugshort]

Thanks, I had the same problem, I'll look forward to it.

[rugshort]

Hi, did you ever find the lyrics to this? Thanks.

[fredheadpokey]

A beautiful soul.

Willie, thanks for all the music and all the love

[skumm60]

We were there Pokey...that first weekend in Texas...memories I wouldn't trade anything.

Lots of tears in that One Vessel this weekend.
