about

Title inspired by Mary Ruefle

lyrics

Count mine blessings
Count mine sticks
Read the rain page
Till the lightbulb clicks
Sat on the porch
Drinking gin
Caught the roof water
In a Prince Albert tin

They say the days
pass away
like apricot blooms
on a windy day
apricot blooms
in the rain

Tell mine fables
Tell mine dreams
Read the rain page
Like I know what it means
Maybe it's an omen
An owl perched on a sign
Maybe it was nothing
All the time

They say the days
Pass away
Like dandelion tufts
On a windy day
Like dandelion tufts
In the rain

It's his kindness, it's his grace
It's his kindness, it's his grace
It's his kindness, it's his grace
That allows me to stay

Grant mine strength
Grant mine joy
Read the rain page
Like a happy boy
I'll restring my chair
When it sags low
I whistle a tune
Only I know
