Sometimes I feel like I can't even sing (say, say, the light) I'm very scared for this world I'm very scared for me Eviscerate your memory Here's a scene You're in the back seat laying down The windows wrap around To sound of the travel and the engine All you hear is time stand still in travel and feel such peace and absolute The stillness still that doesn't end But slowly drifts into sleep The stars are the greatest thing you've ever seen And they're there for you For you alone you are the everything
I think about this world a lot and I cry And I've seen the films and the eyes But I'm in this kitchen Everything is beautiful And she is so beautiful She is so young and old I look at her and I see the beauty Of the light of music The voices talking somewhere in the house Late spring and you're drifting off to sleep With your teeth in your mouth You are here with me You are here with me You have been here and you are everything
(repeat 1st verse)
Peter came up with the mandolin line for that. I picked up the bass, and Mike picked up the accordion, and in about twenty minutes we hat the song. Bill Berry
