about

(Wiley/Dearborn/Malmquist)

lyrics

I work a daily double I live two lives or more today
it leaves me wondering
I always lose my way

day so brisk so innovative, yet so deeply strained
night life an explosion - a work force
Out to mitigate the pain

Bartender serves the dancer. Actor sings all the songs.
Waitress serves the disparate couples who wonder where they went wrong
Artists all at the bar getting a stiff drink
Lawyers high round tables working not to think

Stop get your bearings
be still and feel the heat
Slow down enough inside
unfold and honor grief……(bar of 6)

Ohh Bring us the poet, unpack the light
Dream us awake
See the world we’re making

bring her perfect mess
uncork the laughter
Hold on to nothing, tightrope walker….

Grateful that the drones are not dropping bombs overhead…yet
Thankful I could walk 5 miles on my 2 strong legs

Grateful for the red tail hawk and crickets that crowd these hills.
Love how the elk listen listen, with every step.

Stop get your bearings
be still feel the heat
Slow down enough inside
unfold and honor grief.

Ohh Bring us the poet, unpack the light
Dream us wake
Relieve us from our plight

bring her perfect mess
uncork the laughter
Hold on to nothing, tightrope walker….

On spinning thread on a spinning thread...

Bring us the poet, unpack the light
Dream us wake
See the world we’re making

bring her perfect mess
uncork the laughter
Hold on to nothing, tightrope walker….
