lyrics

Picked up my tie, but I didn’t put it on
Slipped on my ring, but left behind my dedication
To half remembered marches in step and time
The tissue of my heart is mystery
I was half out the door as this occurred to me
Just had to hang it here in innocent morbid rhyme
It leaves me open to certain lines
in paint and pencil lead
some take to erasing,
and some I hide beneath my bed

And with my age my confidence fades
Though my hard edges grow harder every day
I feel the weight of each passing day

I scattered a flock of birds on my walk across the church parking lot
Longing to be taken too, but grateful to have not
My pocket is full of a plan I must complete
Splendor shades the hardship it took to reach
The kind of ends of which great men speak
Still knowing we all must sleep and eat
The horizon keeps shifting beyond the edge of the flashlight
Moving in silence that cancels noise where we all simply trust it to be right

And with my age my confidence fades
Though my hard edges grow harder every day
I feel the weight of each passing day
