Oh thanksgiving the harvest draws to a close |
| [00:10.941] |
Pride of man will swallow him |
| [00:16.211] |
For he reaps what he sows |
| [00:21.331] |
Oh living it's harder every day |
| [00:31.821] |
Only in the darkness can you see you've lost your way |
| [00:59.811] |
I recollect the Rose of Sharon had come back again |
| [01:04.81] |
The trees were blowing in the breeze all high above my head |
| [01:08.261] |
When a cavalcade of memories |
| [01:10.491] |
Appeared to me in words I wished I'd said |
| [01:17.11] |
From that point on a song stayed in my thoughts most of the time |
| [01:21.391] |
But when I tried to sing it out loud it would always leave my mind |
| [01:25.451] |
Like the things you know are true |
| [01:28.111] |
But never can explain when you get asked |
| [01:43.437] |
A melody floating just within your grasp it goes |
| [02:07.180] |
When I was a child I always remember |
| [02:11.370] |
The way I would feel 4th Thursday November |
| [02:15.660] |
My uncles would play there would be music |
| [02:19.710] |
And I was taking it in |
| [02:24.880] |
Only much later I noticed the drinking |
| [02:28.620] |
The feeling my family was growing and sinking |
| [02:33.40] |
St Petersburg Palace stain glass in sun |
| [02:37.50] |
They were well on their way I had only begun |
| [02:59.290] |
So boy meets a girl Venus and Adonis |
| [03:03.250] |
Friendship on fire adulthood upon us |
| [03:07.680] |
They teach you to fly then spend all of their time |
| [03:11.770] |
Standing over you clipping your wings |
| [03:16.810] |
Where there was a me there could be an us |
| [03:20.770] |
I dreamt about money she talked about trust |
| [03:25.280] |
She is my axis death is by foxes |
| [03:29.400] |
And we were well on our way in |
| [03:34.150] |
America this is home |
| [03:38.530] |
Stories everybody's got one |
| [03:42.970] |
This is mine you will have your own |
| [03:47.40] |
Nothing like the real thing nothing like it |
| [03:55.980] |
Cleaner than Christmas or our wedding day |
| [03:59.710] |
I knew her father was pissed though he wouldn't say it |
| [04:04.420] |
I would be too and someday I will be |
| [04:08.660] |
No kid could be good enough |
| [04:13.470] |
Taking on Sunday taking on owls |
| [04:17.670] |
Catching a glimpse of the wolf as it howls |
| [04:21.700] |
Got a lot of nice things got a really nice house |
| [04:26.40] |
Done is so beautiful |
| [04:29.250] |
On Father's Day I'm thinking of mothers |
| [04:34.530] |
I can only suppose they're thinking of others |
| [04:39.190] |
Insurance is up it came in the mail |
| [04:43.120] |
Yeah it kills me what they're charging for little white pills |
| [05:05.620] |
I blow through the years like a mother defending its own |
| [05:10.410] |
And I fear I'm driving on spare tires |
| [05:14.120] |
Seems like I'll never get home like I'll never get home |
| [05:19.740] |
Like I'm getting threadbare |
| [05:22.950] |
I can't find my way she showed me the map |
| [05:26.620] |
I still can't believe I acted like that |
| [05:30.970] |
Just follow your heart up past most of the brain |
| [05:35.410] |
If you get lost at reason move down past pain |
| [05:40.380] |
I'll see you in court bring your raincoat |
| [05:44.670] |
I'm keeping the kids I'm keeping the house |
| [05:48.540] |
It takes minutes to make us a baby |
| [05:51.850] |
And years to remember what that was about |
| [05:56.480] |
America this is home |
| [06:02.160] |
Stories everybody's got one |
| [06:06.530] |
When we die what will we have done |
| [06:10.450] |
Nothing like the real thing nothing like it |
| [06:19.550] |
It's snowing in April something's changing in me |
| [06:23.490] |
It's the sound of a heart getting clean baby |
| [06:27.850] |
I traded in booze for loads of caffeine |
| [06:32.40] |
And my friends they traded in me |
| [06:35.820] |
Another Thanksgiving and I'm all alone |
| [06:40.670] |
My favorite holiday and nobody's home |
| [06:44.930] |
No shame in the past no pride in the future |
| [06:49.520] |
I know believe I know |
| [06:52.940] |
Those years we spent talking learning to agree |
| [06:57.880] |
The truth is I'm just thankful you tolerated me |
| [07:02.480] |
So many thorns not enough roses |
| [07:07.10] |
My girls as they sleep the eye as it closes |
| [07:14.10] |
This year for Thanksgiving I'm keeping my list short |
| [07:18.20] |
No one gets married no one gets divorced |
| [07:22.380] |
Can you imagine |
| [07:24.480] |
What if the world could stand still for even a day |
| [07:31.320] |
If there was no crime no rape and no killing |
| [07:35.440] |
Addictions suspended no cutting or drilling |
| [07:39.750] |
If everyone took the day off and hung out with their friends |
| [07:45.420] |
Their favorite friends |
| [07:48.850] |
I know what you're saying it's not realistic |
| [07:52.820] |
I've heard it my whole life look at the statistics |
| [07:57.240] |
But lucky for us I'm not a guy that gives up |
| [08:02.590] |
I never give up I go la la la la la |
| [08:09.910] |
I go la la la la la |
| [08:25.810] |
Oh Thanksgiving the harvest draws to a close |
| [08:34.200] |
Redemption is a bugle humility composed |
| [08:45.50] |
Sweet forgiveness thawing across frozen ground |
| [08:55.890] |
Casting light eternally carrying its sound |
