Lyrics The Head and the Heart

The Head and the Heart

Josh McBride

Came to the cold just to see you

Standing there in expectation

Woolen coat and blue eyes staring

Oh this vision does me good

In the city we don't know yet

Cross the bridges not yet burned

Where the ice won't let us further

Wind our way down through the woods

Take me to the attic ladder

In the barn with broken floors

With your boots of Spanish leather

And my hat knit out of yarn

My hat knit out of yarn

You are in the seat beside me

You are in my dreams at night

You are in grandmother's wisdom

You are in grandfather's charm

Show me young trees in the orchard

With the music on their branches

Keep them from the mouths of creatures

Who intend for them no good

Take me out past the windbreak

Speak the thing you could not utter

Wind will howl and moon will cower

At the magic of the word

Oh, oohohohoooh

Oh, ohoh,

Ohohoh, ohoh

Darling this is when I met you

For the third time, not the last

Not the last time we are learning

Who we are and what we would

You are in the seat beside me

And you are in my dreams at night

You are in grandmother's wisdom

And you are in grandfather's charm
