lyrics
You pack your sack and shove my sweater in - I tuck my borrowed bed away
Out the door like frog and toad are friends into a gift of glorious day
Cross the field and pass the chickens, thank them for my breakfast eggs
Passing across the highway, we make our great escape and
We are fancy free - heaven and earth belong to you and me and
Life is here lived twice in hours of mirth drawn out by God’s delight
We pick our place and sit down with the dirt - space between to set a fire
I burn a hole right through my favorite shirt and I am now appropriately attired
Fumbling drum between my fingers, I can never roll these right
You trade me yours and pour me coffee - we stare out at the sky
We’ll go home by the river - drop our clothes in perfect piles
I feel my whole life quiver, drenched with all this mighty wild
Out the door like frog and toad are friends into a gift of glorious day
Cross the field and pass the chickens, thank them for my breakfast eggs
Passing across the highway, we make our great escape and
We are fancy free - heaven and earth belong to you and me and
Life is here lived twice in hours of mirth drawn out by God’s delight
We pick our place and sit down with the dirt - space between to set a fire
I burn a hole right through my favorite shirt and I am now appropriately attired
Fumbling drum between my fingers, I can never roll these right
You trade me yours and pour me coffee - we stare out at the sky
We’ll go home by the river - drop our clothes in perfect piles
I feel my whole life quiver, drenched with all this mighty wild

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
