Old Church Hymns & Nursery Rhymes

Blow on you restless wind, up to your old tricks again

Bear down you Texas sun, you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run

Splintered wood rusty chains, this old front porch swing remains

A pendulum of memories, goes back and forth on a summer breeze

Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes

From the days way back before my time

With a little child upon my knee

Singing every sweet word back to me

Look how far I had to come

To get back where I started from

With a child's wisdom passin' time

Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes

I've run the race I've walked the wire, I paid the price of my desire

And the only time I've known it all, is just before I took a fall

So howl your lone coyote song, fade to sapphire sky of dawn

Count me in the lucky men, to send the world around again
