words of our waking - jayber crow lyrics
what stories sung in our sleep
rustlin’ soft as in a dream?
what tale so tempting and sweet
stirrin’ us, rising to our feet?
what scents brought by on a breeze
blowin’ in through the window-screen?
what birdsong up in the trees
callin’ us out from ‘neath our sheets?
what water clear and so clean
wash up our faces, rinse our t–th?
what laces, covers and sleeves
wait in the view room for our bodies?
what sun shinin’ in the east
lighting the land so we might see?
what door, what hinges that creak
openin’ out so we might leave?
o, morning bells
i tossed and turned throughout the night
’cause that daylight calls
to the hearts of those who mean to run
what children comin’ of age
words of our waking on the tongue?
what restless transient rage
moves through the feet and fills the lungs?
o, schoolhouse bells
my ears are ringin’ with your noise
but outside your walls
strained voices carry on the wind
they’re singin’ songs i’ve heard before
the dawn is red
a chorus callin’ out the lord
i cannot stay in bed
o, melody
bring me to my feet
and i will go so i might know
the words you sing
sing them loud;
i will
la la la la la la la
o, wedding bells
you call me back to bed so soon
so many miles
so many footsteps left ?? rest, at best
would only close my eyes
so i could hear
the stories sung in our sleep
stirrin’ us, risin’ to our feet
