All the humming of your angels

Fills your heart with sound


All the flipping through of paperbacks

Makes your world go around



Well you don’t really wanna get outta bed today but you tell yourself “I’ll just wash the dishes and mow the front lawn”



You lift those stubborn eyelids slowly get accustomed to the light make some coffee put your shoes on



All the mumbling of your boyfriend

Puts your spirits at ease



All the aerobics with your old lady friends

Really helps your knees



In your world you know you’ve gotta pick yourself up

And that’s just wutcha do



Cuz you know that at the start of each day

There’s still a lotta things that you can choose



The sun is in your eyes you can’t see you might not feel it now but it’s there



And everything hurts these days and everybody’s so far away but it’s there



(Silence)



Taking care of business

Fills your thoughts with calm



Although your kids don’t often visit

No one’s ever really gone



And if you gently go against the glowing gray

You might keep that Noonday Demon at bay



(Silence)



I think of your living room with the Christmas tree where you like to sit and I can’t wait to get back there



And everything’s gonna be okay once you give my wife a kiss then tell me that I need to cut my hair



It’s a bit much all at once you don’t know where to start it’s overwhelming and you struggle not to tear



So I go against my suddenly empty brain

(hum along) Something, something right down wintry lane



And I know just how to be your silly son

Cuz in my self I know the pain of one



And although there’s not much more that I could say

I can tell you that I know the glowing gray



And together we can listen for the birds

As they bring us to a brand new day



(Silence)
