Hey little sister, hows the Brooklyn weather?
Not that you can go outside
Beside standing on the roof
And staring cross the river
Hows it looking on the other side?
Things out here i guess have gotten quiet
with the sky is clear of flights
I got the fear but still I’m trying
To keep moving toward the light
But the old man says this may be worse
Than anything he’s seen before
JFK, the falling towers, maybe even the Vietnam war
I asked him how we're supposed to make it through
This year of endless night
He said all you can do, even when you’re losing
Is keep moving toward the light
Hello mama, sure it good to see you
Did you have all those greys before?
Aw me? Not too much
Just trying not to think
Bout what the future might have in store
I apologize, I know it breaks your heart
To hear the troublin’ things that I say
But to be honest now
I guess for once it feels like folks
Finally see the world my way
Caus out there ain't it mostly dark
Beyond the warmth of this little ol star
I’m holding out but I’m losing hold
Of the thread that I was danglin' on
There’s always bound to be a glimmer, son
Even if it ain't that bright
Please, don’t give in to the darkness darling
Keep moving toward the light
How things lookin' from up there, John
Any better than it was down here?
Where honky tonks & restaurants
Are just boarded up souvenirs
Sure could’ve used some diamonds now
That the goings too rough to ride
A few good songs to break new ground
In a story even you couldn’t write
Its hard to think of something worse
Than the madness that we’ve all seen
The cooler trucks, the gathering clouds
The quiet down in New Orleans
One of these days when things clear up
I’ll want some good friends by my side
And we’ll dance right down the avenue
Keep moving toward the light

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
