SOFT & DUMB

The blue sky is gray
All the green leaves are turning
There are so many ways to pray
Maybe my sister is awake
2,000 hungry miles away
I can hear her children’s small feet on the stairs
What if the faces you love blur
With every rainstorm that you witness
What if in our lives there is more memory than hope
All of the answers that I gave when
Somebody was still quizzing me
Have fallen soft & dumb off of my tongue

I still know the things I want
I can’t hold them in my hands
I forget the things I have
are the things I have

The morning is cold
All the geese fear the winter
There is so much untold
Maybe my brother slept in
While Tennessee’s bright, green grass is fading
He’s dreaming of the miles he’ll drive & of home
What if the people you love are
Sitting down without you in the prairie
What if the time that we spend, we just pass
All of the dreams that I could love
Now that my heart is not paralyzed
Have fallen soft & dumb off of my tongue

I still know the things I want…

The blue sky is gold
All the sunlight is leaving
& the ocean is pushed & pulled
All of the struggle that I hide, I keep
Beneath my collar
It’s falling soft & dumb off of my tongue

I still know the things I want…
