Lyrics
In the shadow of the day
I heard you calling lovingly.
Without trembling, without fright,
filled my being with your light.
Stale words and heavy hours
forgotten in the scent of flowers.
The sweetest taste upon my tongue
no longer will be unsung.
Simple melody of rain
wash away our every pain.
Click and clatter of our bones
healed by harmonic tones.
I reach through the window
to the clouds laying low.
I fly through the night
on your wings of flight
that lead me back on home
where I kiss what I have known.

Still Breathing Fine

Still Breathing Fine
I remember it well
Eighteen, I was cocky as hell-yeah-yeah
When my old man
bailed out on our day of slammin’ bass
Said Mom had a couple odd jobs for him out back
I th’ew the cooler in my truck, looked up, and said “screw that
Chorus:
Man that’s one cold day
When a woman tries to tame this stray, and I
Think I’d turn blue and die
Funny how choices change
When we meet the one who shakes that stage of life
Thank God I’ve chosen right
And still breathing fine
Dad’s doing well
43 and cocky as hell yeah-yeah
When I changed our plans
He rolled in with a thing for those old Bass
Said dad my bad but I promised the day to Beth
He gave in to a crappy grin I new what that look meant
[Repeat chorus]
Yeah I’m thinkin’
Some kid’s fishin’
Somewhere out on some lake
Hearin’ voices
Feelin’ choices
To keep fishing or cut bait
[Repeat chorus]
Man that’s one cool day
When we’re in that boat with a choice to make and I
Thank God I’d chosen right
Thank God I’d chosen right
Thank God I’d chosen right
And still breathin’ fine
And still breathin’ fine
Blah blah blah
