about

Written about the daily struggle...and the beauty of Love.
Recorded at Blue Sprocket in Harrisonburg.

lyrics

oil tank is half empty
in the throws of the winter
i set on my back porch and wonder
if i'll have enough wood
probably should
but i have to burn the bark
those ashes leave a mess
but frozen pipes and cold kids
would be worse i guess

is this the way it goes, Love is not how i supposed
i'll work for the hope that comes
from holding on

Squirrels gather acorns
that old oak has so many
you cant even walk barefoot outside
my christmas tree is laying
in the side yard decaying
it'll stay there till my truck gets fixed
or till i find the time
what about that old tree
it'll probably out live me

is this the way it goes, Love is not how i supposed
i'll work for the hope that comes
from holding on

Balloons fill my living room
they've been there since the New Year
i spend some time kicking them around
they flout up and down
don't touch the ground
I'm thankful for my patience
but my kids are sick
drink this glass of water son
this wont hurt a bit

is this the way it goes, Love is not how i supposed
i'll work for the hope that comes
from holding on
