Ah, a little tune about being as true to yourself as possible.. Simple stuff.
This one was made-up in between running through trails in my 'off hours' or hanging laundry while working at Driftwood Lodge.
lyrics
warm in wooden
high in high hills
blue in sorrow
red with wine
cool in the shadowy
low of valleys
yellow in sunshine
peach with jane
ON THE STREETS
ON A TREE-ROOT TRAIL
WILL YOU WEAR YOUR YEARS
UPRIGHT AS MOONLIGHT
WILL YOU TALK TRUE
WITH WELL-WORN WORDS
WILL YOU BE AS OUTSIDE
AS YOU ARE INSIDE
hot with embers
up with the day
white as starlight
black of shut eyes
cold of heartbreak
down with the night
green as youth
gray as rain
ON THE STREETS
ON A TREE-ROOT TRAIL
DID YOU WEAR YOUR YEARS
UPRIGHT AS MOONLIGHT
DID YOU TALK TRUE
WITH WELL-WORN WORDS
WERE YOU AS OUTSIDE
AS YOU WERE INSIDE
