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
