The Corners You Can't See | ||||||||||||||||
Foundations | ||||||||||||||||
What do you see, beyond the trees A dream of what you want to be But it's not there, and where is where The maddened drones ringing in your head The goblins hide Deep inside The turned over roots of some old barren tree And they bring the leaves to the ground In the red and orange of autumn's brown They're in your room They're in your gloom And all the corners you can't see You scream and cry, they stain your eye And pounce in the shadows in the hall So try to fight and wave goodnight To the spector stirring outside your window pane |
||||||||||||||||
Oh weather beaten bridge Fade barn red Split is your vein Dwarfing fishermen, jigging in your shadow Your foundation of stone So much stronger than yourself Are we the same? |
||||||||||||||||
Albin Bridge | ||||||||||||||||
Bridge breaking gravel road Who will visit you when we're gone? I hope we frequent you as we grow older, For the sake of old times and ours as well Lined by green on narrowed sides Evening cool mystified To visit, think, or drink a few Remember us, when our dues are through Thanks for being sanctuary In times young, sad, or scary For supporting us as we pass through Remember us, we'll remember you |
