From the recording RECKONING
Lyrics
The colors of the sky are dancing on the lake
Like a Monet painting in real time
The air is so warm you could easily mistake
This winter afternoon for summertime
There’s a cold wind coming tonight
Something just doesn’t feel right
I’m trying not to give in to the darkness
But I know that I might
These are strange days in so many ways
I just can’t keep track anymore
These are strange days
I’m just amazed
And trying to keep the wolf from the door
The icecaps are melting… the hurricanes roar
They just say we have our ups and our downs
But while the truth hides, mudslides, fire, floods and higher tides
Are swallowing our cities and towns
And while they spend more of our dollars on war
The things we really need rot to the core
And the precious few who have all the money
Just take more and more
These are strange days in so many ways
I just can’t keep track anymore
These are strange days
I’m just amazed
And trying to keep the wolf from the door
There are things that are true… there are things that are false
And there are some things that nobody knows
But when somebody lies it’s as easy to see
As the shadow from Pinocchio’s nose
Unless your vision’s clouded by hate
Unless your vision’s clouded by fear
Unless you just want to believe the lies that you hear
These are strange days in so many ways
I just can’t keep track anymore
These are strange days
I’m just amazed
And trying to keep the wolf from the door
These are strange days in so many ways
I just can’t keep track anymore
These are strange days
I’m just amazed
And trying to keep the wolf from the door
These are strange days…strange, strange days
These are strange days…strange, strange days
