lyrics

how sweet
to have a song of old
as the song of your youth

lovely
to know a whispered folk tune
as your own soft lullabye

oh, I would claim it
heart and soul
I'd claim it for my own

and with it
the sweet memory
of a childhood never known

how the tastes
and smells that form us
thread so thinly through my past

how my tastes
pose lingering questions
that I'd rather not have asked

a self made orphan
nose pressed
to the smeary glass of time

hungry for nostalgia
even when
it isn't mine

oh, I will
walk this line, I'll walk it
day by day year after year

I wil walk
the line between my
heedless joy and needless fear

I will tread
the windy path that has
led me to this place

somewhere between disaster
and a tender
state of grace
