Cassidy Lyrics
I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream.
I can tell by the mark he left, you were in his dream.
Ah child of countless trees, ah child of boundless seas.
What you are, and what you're meant to be
Speaks his name, though you were born to me,
Born to me, Cassidy.
Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac.
I can tell by the way you smile, he is rolling back.
Come wash the nighttime clean, come grow the scorched ground green.
Blow the horn, and tap the tambourine.
Close the gap of the dark years in between
You and me, Cassidy.
Quick beats in an icy heart, catch colt draws a coffin cart,
There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry.
Flight of the seabirds
Scattered like lost words,
Wheel to the storm and fly.
Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design.
Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.
Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design.
Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.
I can tell by the mark he left, you were in his dream.
Ah child of countless trees, ah child of boundless seas.
Speaks his name, though you were born to me,
Born to me, Cassidy.
I can tell by the way you smile, he is rolling back.
Come wash the nighttime clean, come grow the scorched ground green.
Close the gap of the dark years in between
You and me, Cassidy.
There he goes and now here she starts, hear her cry.
Scattered like lost words,
Wheel to the storm and fly.
Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design.
Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.
Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design.
Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.

People can say what they want but I have never been more comfortable or loved than I was while at shows. Thousands of hippies unknown to me who ALWAYS treated me as if we were life long friends or family!! So, if you hate hippies you’ve never known a true hippie and do not deserve to be on this site with these wonderful people!! That being said, my best friend in this world is my American Bulldog whose name is Cassidy. And I truly believe she was born to me, MY Cassidy!!
fucking loser...nothing wrong with being a hippie and august 9th is a day that people mourn over the loss of something great...you are a stupid closed minded fuckhole...i think its cool that his friend named a car after an awesome dead song...
I have a friend of mine who named their car 'Cassady' because of this song.
hey!! im an emo kid but i grew up touring on the dead and theres nothing wrong with hippies!! my middle name is cassidy after this song, its a kick ass song!! and dont diss aug 9th, you dont have to care about it but respect people who do
Wow, I myself named my 2000 VW Jetta after this song as well... no dead song more fitting for a brand new car! The song is actually about Neal Cassidy, who was a beatnik and good friends with Jack Kerouac who wrote about their adventures in the book "On The Road".
haha, I named my 2002 VW Jetta after this song!
HAHA I named my 2002 VW Jetta after this song!
hey darkstar... this song was written by wier and barlow. before wier knew cassady. and yes notice also how its spelled cassidy. neal's was spelled cassady. so er yes. but wow amazing song. perhaps my favorite dead song.
I am named Cassidy for this song, first name. Yeah, I know, dirty fuckin' hippie...blah blah blah...heard it all before. I've always kind of liked this song, it's not my favorite, but it's good.
The first verse is about Bobby's kid, Cassidy, the second is about Neal Cassady, "Lost now on the country miles in his Cadallac", Cassady was well nown for his savant-like driving ability. Bobby wrote this song well after Cassady died, it was written as a tribute to his life and his newborn child.
Cassidy Law is not Bobby’s daughter.
