Lyrics
Hymn For The Living
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Fantail of a red-tailed hawk
Red-wing on a cattail stalk
Black crow in a trickling spring
Yes, it means everything
Lord knows, I'm a lucky man
To watch the view from where I stand
And I'm living in the light of your love
Sometimes I get feeling low
Spinning in my own shadow
But while I'm all caught up in me
You wait so patiently
To greet me with your morning song
And ask me, "John, what took so long?"
To be living in the light of you...
So proud to be a part of your...
Living in the light of your love
Joe says. 'There's no free lunch pass
You work like hell and watch your ass."
While he's talking suits and ties
His kids are catching fireflies
His daughter runs up, with a smile
Hands Joe the jar and for a while
He's all lit up by the light of their love
Living in the light of you
In spite of all he's going through
Living in the light of your love
Blossoms on an apple tree
It don't take no honey bee
To know those flowers 'cross the road
Are an olfactory overload
Not satisfied with looking great
They fill my lungs and fill my plate
And I'm living in the light of their love
Living in the light of you
In spite to all I'm going through
Living in the light of your love
