Buffy Sainte Marie - "Mister Can't You See"

Buffy Sainte Marie "Mister Can't You See" Lyrics

I can hear the rivers flowing
And i can see the winds a'blowin
Since the endless marchin' over time
And if you don't know what i'm feeling
Take a look what i'm revealing
Everything that's now running
Through my mind
Tellin' you the time is comin'
You gonna have to start your
Poor legs running
Part of this whole world you
Refuse to call your own
Harm is comin' and it maybe tomorrow
Gonna have to be beggin' to borrow
Sanity from a man
you've never known
And if you don't know what i'm feeling
Take a look, cause i'm revealing
Everything that's now running
Through my mind
And i can see the rivers flowin'
I can hear the wind a'blowin
Since the endless marching over time
Mirrors come from every angle
I'm telling you you're gonna
Have to dangle
You're mind from livin'
My! you're gonna think so small
I swear the day is comin' honey, soon
The troop is gonna bust the balloons
There's gonna be alot of people
Burning control
And if you don't know what i'm feeling
Take a look, cause i'm revealing
Everything that's now running
Through my mind
And i can see the rivers flowin
I can hear the wind blowin
Since the endless marchin' over time

One of my favorite songs.... of all time! Thanks for posting it. Such a timely message.

First heard this on an airline flight coming back from Denver. It's funny how a song on a single play can burn into your mind.

[naturalpro2003]

Awesome song which detests war.  Excellent!

[MTCatman]

She's a great talent, thank you!

[collinsjamesl]

I love the energy of this song. It still sounds fresh almost 40 years later.

Interesting though, there's no chorus. I kept waiting for a catchy chorus to complete this vibrant song, but it never came. That being said, I really do like it.

Heard this first as a 14 year old in Rotorua, NZ; wondered who the hell is she - what a voice! what a song! Butt-kicking folk...thanks NA4Life, especially if you aren't a song marketing company

Have loved this since I was 16--thank you Buffy Saint-Marie
