about

Written in 2007
Holding suffering in one hand, gratitude in the other,
stretching our heart

lyrics

I get astounded very easily
Startle more each day
At things I knew then learned again
Never knew they’d slipped away
Salt the wound grind me down make me work every day
I’m nice and tender that way
The length of days grow shorter as the shadows longer stay
Cast by swinging lanterns that are hung anew each day
Salt the wound grind me down make me work every day
I’m nice and tender that way
I get confounded very easily the forest for the trees
The things I take for granted are the ones that I most need
Tenderness misplaced bitter aftertaste
All the times that you say what you know is not true
Those words resound every day
I get frightened at the smallest things
A word that is not said
And every step is all too fraught
There’s danger just ahead
Salt the wound grind me down make me work every day
I’m nice and tender that way
The time has passed for standing still
Move by word by deed
Rhetoric won’t do the trick it’s action that you need
Salt the wound grind me down make me work every day
I’m nice and tender that way
At the end of days I’d like to say
I’ve softened most from love
Time well spent’s no accident practice every day
Tenderness is finding the love you’ve lost by hiding
All the pain that you hold wrapped inside you that way
I’m so astounded today
All the pain that you hold wrapped inside you that way
I’m so astounded today
All the pain that you hold wrapped inside you that way
