about

To live with and within nature, one must eschew the confines of the world's shiny roads. But beware, to shed the weight of this mortal coil is to inhabit the footprints of the wind.

lyrics

Another perfect ending to another perfect day
tomorrow’s found me waiting, expecting it that way
you may want 4 walls, well, I need a place to stay
but when the birds are singing, it’s hard to keep away

I sit among the music of nature’s finest band
symphony of earth life is trembling in our hands
take me, oh half moon, sheer glass and diving duck
bring me through the mist and drop me like a rock

I’ll soar downward through water grey and calm
land on the bottom wash the blood off of my palms
you still want 4 walls, I guess I need them too
If I leave these 4 walls I’d be leaving you

I’ll swim with you, oh beaver, the geese will ask me south
to winter in the sunshine, snowflakes in my mouth
I surface to the cold world, I gasp and look around
In the blooming of the dogwood eternity is found

Soaking up last moments, another perfect day
all the mess and heartache, I’ve got tears to give away
I’m waiting for a voice, I’ve heard it here before
this sparkling winter water holds me to its shore
