about

Lead track - about finding space for gratitude in tough times...loose like Acadian driftwood, solid gut-punch.

lyrics

Life Love Time

Thank you, life for I only know a little of the sorrow in this world
Thank you, life for not counting the mistakes I make so much
And for the second chances you keep offering up
Sometimes I drink to the hard times
And I come undone and it clears my mind
& I’ve had my share just like everyone
Thank you, life for sparing me some

Thank you love for changing as we grow
And for whispering in my ear when I’m all alone
Thank you love for being so blind
And for glowing in the worried looks between your eyes and mine
Sometimes we drink to the hard times
And our broken hearts bust open wide
& hotel rooms yeah we’ve wrecked our share
Here’s to another one thank you love for giving me this one

Thank you time for the beautiful frames
and the space to play with the rhythm & the rhyme
Thank you time for being kind to my body
And leaving all that’s behind me right where it belongs
Sometimes we drink to watch you passing by
Thanks for slowing down a little on these special nights
For healing old wounds and righting old wrongs
Thank you time, hope we still have some

For marking miles and stones in a race that can’t be won
Thank you time hope I still have some
