Thanksgiving - Stephen Kellogg
Oh thanksgiving the harvest draws to a close Pride of man will swallow him For he reaps what he sows Oh living it'sharder every day Only in the darkness can you see you'velost your way I recollect the Rose of Sharon had come back again The trees were blowing in the breeze all high above my head When a cavalcade of memories Appeared to me in words I wished I'dsaid From that point on a song stayed in my thoughts most of the time But when I tried to sing it out loud it would always leave my mind Like the things you know are true But never can explain when you get asked A melody floating just within your grasp it goes When I was a child I always remember The way I would feel 4thThursday November My uncles would play there would be music And I was taking it in Only much later I noticed the drinking The feeling my family was growing and sinking St Petersburg Palace stain glass in sun They were well on their way I had only begun So boy meets a girl Venus and Adonis Friendship on fire adulthood upon us They teach you to fly then spend all of their time Standing over you clipping your wings Where there was a me there could be an us I dreamt about money she talked about trust She is my axis death is by foxes And we were well on our way in America this is home Stories everybody'sgot one This is mine you will have your own Nothing like the real thing nothing like it Cleaner than Christmas or our wedding day I knew her father was pissed though he wouldn'tsay it I would be too and someday I will be No kid could be good enough Taking on Sunday taking on owls Catching a glimpse of the wolf as it howls Got a lot of nice things got a really nice house Done is so beautiful On Father'sDay I'mthinking of mothers I can only suppose they'rethinking of others Insurance is up it came in the mail Yeah it kills me what they'recharging for little white pills I blow through the years like a mother defending its own And I fear I'mdriving on spare tires Seems like I'llnever get home like I'llnever get home Like I'mgetting threadbare I can'tfind my way she showed me the map I still can'tbelieve I acted like that Just follow your heart up past most of the brain If you get lost at reason move down past pain I'llsee you in court bring your raincoat I'mkeeping the kids I'mkeeping the house It takes minutes to make us a baby And years to remember what that was about America this is home Stories everybody'sgot one When we die what will we have done Nothing like the real thing nothing like it It'ssnowing in April something'schanging in me It'sthe sound of a heart getting clean baby I traded in booze for loads of caffeine And my friends they traded in me Another Thanksgiving and I'mall alone My favorite holiday and nobody'shome No shame in the past no pride in the future I know believe I know Those years we spent talking learning to agree The truth is I'mjust thankful you tolerated me So many thorns not enough roses My girls as they sleep the eye as it closes This year for Thanksgiving I'mkeeping my list short No one gets married no one gets divorced Can you imagine What if the world could stand still for even a day If there was no crime no R**eand no killing Addictions suspended no cutting or drilling If everyone took the day off and hung out with their friends Their favorite friends I know what you'resaying it'snot realistic I'veheard it my whole life look at the statistics But lucky for us I'mnot a guy that gives up I never give up I go la la la la la I go la la la la la Oh Thanksgiving the harvest draws to a close Redemption is a bugle humility composed Sweet forgiveness thawing across frozen ground Casting light eternally carrying its sound Guitar score
