blow on you restless wind up to your old tricks again bear down you texas sun you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run splintered wood rusty chains this old front porch swing remains a pendelum of memories goes back and forth on a summer breeze singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes from the days way back before my time with a little child upon my knee singing every sweet word back to me look how far i had to come to get back where i started from with a child s wisdom passing time singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes i ve run the race i ve walked the wire i paid the price of my desire and the only time i ve known it all is just before i took a fall so howl you lone coyote song fade to sapphire sky of dawn count me in the lucky men to send the world around again
