What You May Find

about

lyrics

There’s a road in west Texas where a tree is hardly known
And in the cracks between the yellow lines and asphalt grows a single rose.
It’s no bigger than a quarter. It’s not worth a dirty dime.
But if you come across that dusty pink rose Lord how it does shine.

So don’t
Don’t close your eyes
You never know what you may find

There’s a draft in my attic. Spiders build webs to catch the flies
In the corner there’s a crank-turn record player
Thin needle thick shellac front and back to hear it cry.
Listen to the dust on its wooden frame.
Clarinets and crooked songs, skips and long plays
Songs so old you hear the stories never told
Clues in the blues fall like ashes from the sky

Don’t
Don’t close your eyes
You never know what you may find
Don’t
Don’t close your eyes
You never know what you may find
