From the recording Turtleback Mountain
Lyrics
Will I ever write a song again
Feel the quivering pen
Ride upon the baby’s breath
Did you put away the tango shoes
For the bitter blues
But you’re still in love with sunsets
Oh darlin’
I’ll wrap you up in silver
Hold you in a river of stars
There’s a reason the leaves fall each season
To paint the streets red and gold
Did you know there was a thunder storm
Right when you were born
Half the sky was black, half blue
And of course there was a rainbow
At the end there was a radio
Playin’ all our favorite tunes
Oh darlin’
We know you heard the calling
And you’re doing all you can
There’s a reason the tears fall each season
To paint the sky blue and gold
Oh darlin’
I’ll wrap you up in silver
Hold you in a river of stars
There’s a reason the leaves grow each season
To paint your heart green and gold
Will I ever write a song again
Till the very end
Right up to the final chord
