Sun And Moon And Stars

(album: Natural Forces - 2009)

The sun, the moon and the stars, they make the wind blow
It took me twenty years to understand
But lost to me is how the lives of friends go
Like autumn leaves in Oklahoma wind

But it made me strong
To be on my own
It never did me no harm
To live all alone
But now and then
In the color of the evening
Drunken in a barroom
With the fan turning
I come to miss a few

This afternoon was cloudyand the rains came
Third day of my first day San Miguel
It seems that lately as I'm doubling as storm bait
I've been followed like a shadow since the Dells

But it made me strong
To be on my own
It never did me no harm
To live all alone
But now and then
In the color of the evening
Drunken in a barroom
With the fan turning
I come to miss a few

Dear friends and relations, see what I have done
I've gathered all my fingers in one place
And they've breathed a breath that's deadly stale since they tooled a song for me
I guess mechanics never really set the pace

But I'm back and I'm strong
It never did me no harm
To be on my own
To live all alone
But now and then
In the color of the evening
Drunken in a barroom
With the fan turning
I come to miss a few
