Wind in the trees
Screen door sway
Should I go, or should I?
Tell me bout
the things you lack
I change my mind
I change it back.
I live in the moment between looking and turning away.
Saw you walking with the evening star
A firefly in your hair
Snipe was calling night season's song
All nature was inclined
But not for long.
I live in the moment between looking and turning away.
Pawn you my gold watch and chain
Nocturnes for old country songs
Wish I'd forget that sweet caress,
Wish I loved her a little more,
or a little less.
I live in the moment between looking and turning away.

Peter and Anna

Peter and Anna drove on through the night
Heading for Upper Canada, hope things turn out right
The year was nineteen-ninety-four, prospects they were few
The morning star was shining, the early light it grew
Like some frail, migratory bird,
Blown here by the storm,
They'd fallen through the cracks in love,
Found each other warm,
Found each other warm.
Peter turned to Anna, with a child in her womb
Said "I'll rent you a grand piano, put some flowers round your room"
Said she, "It's all been done before, I have my old guitar,
And I will sing my child to sleep, when you are gone and far."
Like some frail, migratory bird,
Blown here by the storm,
They'd fallen through the cracks in love,
Found each other warm,
Found each other warm.
The swallow finds herself an house, foxes have their dens
The traveler has the wilderness, as do our two young friends
Anna sleeps as on they roll, toward Hamilton's foul fume
As their love is woven on God's celestial loom
Like some frail, migratory bird,
Blown here by the storm,
They'd fallen through the cracks in love,
Found each other warm,
Found each other warm.
