lyrics

i have a broken down chair
set out on the porch just for weather
a raging winter storm last year
has taken what was left of the birchwood
and if god has a plan in lovin
then the hills are going to overflow with young

yeah yeah yeah

i am a daughter out of minstrels
even though they may appear not to be
a jagged city sidewalk crook'd flower
is the only living witness to the
snippets of the old songs they sing
to hearten on a lonely 'nother hour, i tell you,

chorus
i don't really care about perfection
o no no no no no no
but i sing because the singing's here to get sung
of a season

in my dreams you visit me like a husband
and i am healed of every little wrong
we already are living private moments
you have caught my eye and though i'm sleepin
every fiber in me recognizes
and i am no longer among the spellbound

chorus

and the skies'll gather in conclusion
day goes into night right back to day
a flower's only purpose is just to flower
and beauty is the 'i' in each beholder
just like it is in my nature to die

chorus
