Everything It Touches

Well, the air still feels like summer In the early afternoon. But I guess I’ll take a jacket ‘Cause I want to see the moon The first frost was here this morning, And this evening wind is cold. And everything it touches turns to gold. Oh, I wish I was a farmer, And this year’s [...]

On This Side Of The Border

When you’re on the mission field, There’s so much work to do. So take care of the little things Or they’ll take care of you. Pick your nose on this side of the border. Pick your nose in the good `ole USA. Get it all out while you can Cause once you step off that [...]

If Tears Were Words

I haven’t known you so long that I should feel sad, But I’m already crying. Why do they call it good-bye when it hurts so bad, Like something is dying? I see your eyes looking up at me. I just don’t know what to say. I hold you close til we have to leave. And [...]

Don't It Make You Feel Good

Chorus: Don’t it make you feel good Don’t it make you feel good Don’t it make you feel good When they do that thing. You started building. You just couldn’t wait. You spent the whole day tryin’ to pound a nail straight. You made it level. It was harder than it seemed. You wish you [...]

She Has Wings

SHE STANDS ON THE EDGE WITHOUT TREMBLING. A FALL NOW COULD TAKE HER LIFE. SHE STEPS OUT IN PEACEFUL REMEMBERING HOW IT FEELS TO FEEL ONLY WIND AND LIGHT. THERE’S NO SUICIDAL SENSATION. THERE’S NO SENSE OF DANGER AT ALL JUST A VISION OF EARTH MOVING CLOSER AS SHE REACHES OUT AND CATCHES HER OWN [...]
