lyrics

The sun comes up The homestead beams
I brush the watercolors from my dreams
The chimney smokes The coffee screams
Snow is falling on a state of evergreen
I push my pen across the empty page
Pirouettes on a paper stage
I do my little dance with the middle of my middle age
Oh, I watch the wild geese flying o’er the frozen farms
I bend my ear I flap my arms I crane the neck on my guitar

I am haunted by the songs of the ages,
I am driven by the distant glow
But it’s the empty page that moves me so

I am a preacher’s son My father was a fisherman
We stand out where the river turns
With our tangled lines and our big can of worms
We ask the water for many things:
another bite another song to sing
And will it wash us clean
Oh, at the end of the day we don’t know much
But the song behind the morning’s blush is so foolishly in love with us
