lyrics

The days go by
Time won’t behave, don’t even try
So let me give
These weathered words to help you live
The world believes
Their chains will somehow make them free
Don’t let your light
Be put out by this windy night

This worried heart is new to me
I can’t save your soul or make it free
This life’s a crazy one
I wish I could warn you, son

I had a thought
That you could learn from scars I’ve got
You could stand tall
On all I‘ve done -- screw ups and all

There’s so much I could never be
So touch a day I’ll never see
And take this life
Make it your own
And grow the seeds of oats I’ve sown

This life’s a crazy one
I wish I could warn you, son
