1
Oh thanksgiving, the harvest draws to a close
2
Pride of man will swallow him, for he reaps what he sows
3
Oh living, it's harder every day
4
Only in the darkness can you see you've lost your way
5
I recollect the Rose of Sharon had come back again
6
The trees were blowing in the breeze all high above my head
7
When a cavalcade of memories appeared to me in words I wished I'd said
8
From that point on a song stayed in my thoughts most of the time
9
But when I tried to sing it out loud it would always leave my mind
10
Like the things you know are true, but never can explain when you get asked
11
A melody floating just within your grasp, it goes"¦
12
When I was a child I always remember
13
The way I would feel, 4th Thursday November
14
My uncles would play, there would be music
15
And I was taking it in
16
Only much later, I noticed the drinking
17
The feeling my family was growing and sinking
18
St. Petersburg Palace stain glass in sun
19
They were well on their way I had only begun
20
So boy meets a girl, Venus and Adonis
21
Friendship on fire, adulthood upon us
22
They teach you to fly, then spend all of their time
23
Standing over you, clipping your wings
24
Where there was a me, there could be an us
25
I dreamt about money, she talked about trust
26
She is my axis, death is by foxes
27
And we were well on our way, in
28
America, this is home
29
Stories, everybody's got one
30
This is mine, you will have your own
31
Nothing like the real thing, nothing like it
32
Cleaner than Christmas or our wedding day
33
I knew her father was pissed, though he wouldn't say it
34
I would be too and someday I will be
35
No kid could be good enough
36
Taking on Sunday, taking on owls
37
Catching a glimpse of the wolf as it howls
38
Got a lot of nice things, got a really nice house
39
Done is so beautiful
40
On Father's Day, I'm thinking of mothers
41
I can only suppose they're thinking of others
42
Insurance is up, it came in the mail
43
Yeah it kills me what they're charging for little white pills
44
I blow through the years like a mother defending its own
45
And I fear, I'm driving on spare tires
46
Seems like I'll never get home, like I'll never get home
47
Like I'm getting threadbare
48
I can't find my way, she showed me the map
49
I still can't believe I acted like that
50
Just follow your heart up past most of the brain
51
If you get lost at reason, move down past pain
52
I'll see you in court, bring your raincoat
53
I'm keeping the kids, I'm keeping the house
54
It takes minutes to make us a baby
55
And years to remember what that was about
56
America, this is home
57
Stories, everybody's got one
58
When we die what will we have done?
59
Nothing like the real thing, nothing like it
60
It's snowing in April, something's changing in me
61
It's the sound of a heart getting clean baby
62
I traded in booze for loads of caffeine
63
And my friends they traded in me
64
Another Thanksgiving and I'm all alone
65
My favorite holiday and nobody's home
66
No shame in the past, no pride in the future
67
I know, believe I know
68
Those years we spent talking, learning to agree
69
The truth is I'm just thankful you tolerated me
70
So many thorns, not enough roses
71
My girls as they sleep, the eye as it closes
72
This year for Thanksgiving I'm keeping my list short
73
No one gets married, no one gets divorced
74
Can you imagine?
75
What if the world could stand still for even a day?
76
If there was no crime, no rape and no killing
77
Addictions suspended, no cutting or drilling
78
If everyone took the day off and hung out with their friends
79
Their favorite friends
80
I know what you're saying, it's not realistic
81
I've heard it my whole life, look at the statistics
82
But lucky for us, I'm not a guy that gives up
83
I never give up, I go"¦
84
Oh Thanksgiving, the harvest draws to a close
85
Redemption is a bugle humility composed
86
Sweet forgiveness, thawing across frozen ground
87
Casting light eternally, carrying its sound
