old church hymns nursery rhymes
Blow on you restless wind, up to your old tricks again Bear down you texas sun, you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run Splintered wood rusty chains, this old front porch swing remains A pendulum of memories, goes back and forth on a summer breeze Chorus: Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes From the days way back before my time With a little child upon my knee Singing every sweet word back to me Look how far I had to come To get back where I started from With a child's wisdom passin' time Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes I've run the race I've walked the wire, I paid the price of my desire And the only time I've known it all, is just before I took a fall So howl your lone coyote song, fade to sapphire sky of dawn Count me in the lucky men, to send the world around again Chorus
