Parting Clouds

from Back to the Old House by Sawmill

/

lyrics

Did you see her waving from the evergreens?
As you caught your breath behind the old machines.
How is it that we have all moved away?
Watch your step cause it’s getting late.
Twist and turn your able body through the trees,
Going forward with one eye in a bad dream.
Take again what you feel that you are owed,
How else could you have ever known?

Walk up to the kitchen door,
Dismiss all the gnawing thoughts.

By the water at sunrise,
When my options had run out,
Taking directions to find,
The eternal calm hide out.

Could you take back what you saw and what you heard?
Given the chance would want to anyway?
Push and pull until it fits like before.
The pages will turn all the same.

Move with all the other ones,
Flocking to the beating drum.

Show up to the parting clouds,
Give out as the sun goes down.
