lyrics

Standing straight my back pressed
against the frame of an open door.
Pencil marks where my height once met
dated 1944.
Crooked fingers make the dash, “My, how tall you are”

Times weren’t so hard

I still feel my bare feet on the grass,
It’s dusk on swamp road at the family farm.
As he lights a cigar, Grandfather laughs.
Us cousins chase the cat back behind the barn
Where young lovers lips first crossed paths beneath the summer stars.

Times weren’t so hard

And I would marry in the spring,
so young and full of yearning.
With a little house to call our own,
a ship to sail, the learning.
Though we’d bear no children of our own,
our house would still be full.

Times weren’t so hard

Now my heart beats harder against my chest,
as this life ends, I could not ask for more.
To have had a taste of human breathe,
I take a grateful step, back into the spirit form.
Where all beings live as one, I am home.

Times weren’t so hard

Give me love
Give me peace
Set me free
