lyrics

Walking in the woods in St. Francis,

we take another path

“Won’t you tell me about him again?”

He was a saint, but first he was a man

He was sick on arrival, in love with an idol

Well, he fell off his horse, he was hospitalized

and they didn’t see him till the fourth of July

But he’d come to find God in the natural world

and in himself, a peace

He was convelacing

Never been down this path before

We’ve never been down this path before,

where the woods ate the light post

Honey, we are just getting started

holding fast to the nearly departed

going down the road open-hearted

Crossing streets to clear the air

using words to show we care

pacing living rooms that go nowhere

If we dare follow time

into the wilderness of tomorrow

Honey, we are just getting started

letting go of our dearly departed

going down the road open-hearted

And I hope it will be so

we keep on holding each other close

and I hope it will be so

we keep on holding each other close

Honey, we are just getting started

letting go of our dearly departed

world we know, and how to be in it

And I hope it will be so

we keep on holding each other close

and I hope it will be so

we keep on holding each other close

(We are, we are

all we’ve got)
