Now the wind is still. In a moment it will be raging. Now my soul is young. In a moment it will be aging.. . And high above the pines. I wrote several lines.
a. Summer. . Late in the summer. When the cottonwood dies. The fields are on fire. With green bottleflies. And I'm still seeing reflections. Of me in your eyes.
She's got a way of. Getting so inside you. That you think she's. Gonna steal your soul. She's got a way of making sure. That you can't let go. . She's got a trail of.
Shallow rivers run between us. Where a stone may never sink.. Though we taste, we are left thirsty. For a deep and soulful drink.. . Narrow channels, barely open.
Seeing you again. Was like meeting for the first time. In a foggy dream so many years ago.. Strangers in an airport. Searching for a word to break the ice..
Seldom seen. A scarecrow's dream. I hang in the hopes of replacement. Castles tall. I built them all. But I dream that I'm trapped in. the basement.. .
Met my old lover in the grocery store. The snow was falling Christmas Eve. I stole behind her in the frozen foods. And I touched her on the sleeve. . She didn't recognize the face at first.
Born in the valley. And raised in the trees. Of Western Kentucky. On wobbly knees. . With mama beside you. To help you along. You'll soon be a-growin' up strong.
Promises made. Promises broken. Measures of our demise. Secrets of souls that. Rarely get spoken. Pleasure's a thin disguise.. . Dozens of ways. Dozens of reasons.
I have these moments. All steady and strong. I'm feeling so holy and humble. . The next thing I know. I'm all worried and weak. And I feel myself. Starting to crumble.
I have cried too. I have cried too long. I have cried too. I have cried too long. No more sorrow. Got to carry on.. . Found deep water. Before I'd even learned to swim.
Once I loved you and you loved me. We believed our souls were meant to breathe as one. And could never come undone again.. . And once I believed that you and I.
Silent sea. Tell this to me:. Where are the children that we. used to be. . Silent sea:. At picture shows. Where nobody goes. And only the heart can see..
Every morning you wake up alone. And you shake up your soul. But nothing stirs. So you take the love of whoever. you please. But you can't find no reason.
Across the vein of night. There cuts a path of searing light. Burning like a beacon. On the edges of our sight. At the point of total darkness. And the lights divine divide.
End of October. The sleepy brown woods seem to. Nod down their heads to the Winter.. Yellows and grays. Paint the sad skies today. And I wonder when. You're coming home..
One too many days. I've felt forgotten. And one too many nights. I've slept alone.. And every time I watch the fruit turn rotten. I tell myself I'll try a little harder.
High on this mountain. The clouds down below. I'm feeling so strong and alive. From this rocky perch. I'll continue to search. For the wind. And the snow.
You and I were lovers all along. We had a good thing going strong. And never doubted.. Lately, I feel changes comin' on. I know that I will soon be gone.
Well, I'm runnin' down this mountain pass at midnight;. Those truckers, they all flash their lights at me.. This highway ain't the very best companion,.
