A River Is Made Out Of Raindrops (1965)
(Gram Parsons) 
Available on GP The Early Years Box


A tree is born, to hold back the flood
That comes when it’s full grown
A man is born, to bathe in blood
Another’s or his own

And all things young and all things small
We’ll find innate someday
And a river is made out of raindrops
That all start to flow the same way

As one man’s scene, is ceaselessly staged 
In lonely hours of time
And one man’s war, is tirelessly raised
Within his struggling mind

And every night, finds a reason why
To start again the next day
And a river is made out of raindrops
That all start to flow the same way
