the end of my song

about

Both ends begin at once, a winter's morning, not looking where going

lyrics

Just sittin’ and forgettin’ about the ways I used to think
about sinkin’ words into time
thinking ‘bout you, where did you go with my name?
I don’t remember who you were anymore
the voices are quiet now, quieter than they were before
now I'm yelling over the waves on the western shore

what is that light that’s so far off that I can barely see
behind a white oak tree in an open field in eastern Tennessee
shining through the branches of somebody’s memory
can it be the light that used to be
that’s traveled through space for centuries
begging for a place to sleep
could it be coming for - from me?

come over to me and smell the fields a-ripening
come hither hillside and hear the bells
a-jangling the cattle's necks
and the dew dropping from the stars
and the trillion eyes a-dreaming from up above
as the vapor dances upon the manure pile on a winter’s morn
crying at the end of the night,
waiting at the end of the dream
hoping at the end of my wavelength,
way out towards the end of my song
