From the recording Even if the sky is gray
Lyrics
I woke up when I was forty five strange things happened to me
I sit up there with stun in my eyes the stream winds down to the sea
A butterfly in a yellow gown
is dancing round my feet
I found such beauty just right out of town my heart spares no effort to beat
Oh what a hush what a blaze what a light
cold clear water runs through my hands and through my mind no mournful praise just love and haze
no evidence of a dawn
life is always younger than the sun
I follow the trail up to the pass
I hope to recover my face
brothers and sisters are everywhere
just like rocks and stars out in space
I won’t go back to hunt in a pack
I don’t miss the heat and the noise come and join me up here in peace just you and me and the boys
