Through Fog

Sugar’s in the crystal
Coffee is on the stove
Nothing left to do here
But watch the fog burn off
Through fog
You can hardly see the Milk House
But you can always see behind
Just like the truck rides
It’s bigger in your mind
Can’t really be wrong to want to take care
Being alone can make you hard
Wondering if you’ll ever get there
Real hands, real words, real heart
Fog obscures the truth so you see
Only beauty
So long as he stays far enough to be
Obscured by fog
It burns off like always
You put the laundry on the line
A single set of sheets in sunlight
A lonely truthful life

Great Violence

Please remember
I know, I know, I know
Be kind to each other
I know, I know, I know
There are so few
Who lead by their example
I won’t forget you
How you chose to be gentle
It ain’t mercy unless you’ve known great violence
Ones who hear me, have known great violence
Sure as my life
No I know, I know
Sometimes my mind
Is the devil at my door
If you’re at the table
While I’m down at the floor
How can you expect me
To shoulder half your load
Show me mercy
Have you known great violence?
Only hear me
If you’ve known great violence
Try to remember
I know, I know, I know

James came from an Irish town
He bought a plot and built a church
We tried to find it in the prairie after a century
And it was lovely, it was lonely
Was it luck or was it merit?
Or was it hard work?
It’s usually between the three
But the first homestead was built on a quarry
And he gave and gave and gave
Cause that’s how men of God be
You give and give and never get
Give and give and give
You give and give and never get
And that’s the hard road to eternal rest
Grandpa was a ladies man
He never a Mary leave
From a Sunday afternoon at the farm
And the gardens behind
Without a fresh cut bunch of flowers
Bound with leaves
Cause you give and give and never get
Give and give and give
You give and give and never get
And that’s the hard road to eternal rest
Pa sharp shot like a legend, man
Yeah he was hard, but he was fair
When someone hit his favourite friend
He gave him a shovel and he said
“now you go dig two graves over there”
You give and give and never get
You give and give and give
You give and give and never get
And that’s the hard road to eternal rest
Ma and pa are nevermore, but the cats still call to to be fed
You notice a mark on the ceiling
and your sister says “it’s not a leak
I spilled my drink
Listening to the adults when I should have been in bed…”
You give and give and this is what you get
You give and give and give
You give and give and this is what you get
Put down your bags and rest
You give and give and never get
Give and give and give
Give and give and never get
That’s the road to eternal rest
That’s the road to eternal rest
This is the road to eternal rest
