Barrel House |
Shifting the chair on the porch |
For a better position to enjoy the warmth |
Of the sun to keep warm |
And working the needle and twine |
Lost in the furthest recess of the mind |
It is calm, there is peace |
A cat on his lap and a dog at her feet |
But oh, the heart of a man |
The secrets they bury within |
And oh, the causes that force his poor hand |
Lead to be misled thus the deceivin' hand |
And it’s a night among easily described |
Misunderstanding our thoughts by and by |
I’m barely here, if even at all |
A fear of the misunderstood |
Invites the violence right in chasin' off all the good |
We’d brought all on ourselves |
Led astray by the words of somebody else |
And oh, the life of a man |
His head above the water and pushed under again |
And oh, I’ve seen it one too many times |
It’s a test of the spirit versus the health of the mind |
Oh, bring relief to him now and the people he loves |
Oh, I know the feel of the feeling but not what it’s called |
Oh |
Oh, the will of a man |
And all his well meaning intent |
And oh, the thought of it all |
As far as we’ve come we’re still further to go |
Oh, all the years we lost they mean nothing at all |
Oh, liftin' the spirit impression of a son |
Oh, bring some peace to his heart and a wonderin' thought |
Oh oh oh, bring some peace to this world and keep passin' it on |
