Sorry, I didn't post yesterday... I was busy finishing up what has probably been my best quarter of college to date! (100% thumbs up on fire!) Only three people will get that....
Anyway, this song is in my head today, and it's so beautiful, I have to share:
Like the Wheel - Tallest Man on Earth
Oh I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye
that could fly above this summer all day long
on an island in the heart he has to carry
past the many you have let into your song
And I said Oh, my Lord, why I am I not strong
like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on
like the wheel that will take you home
And in the forest someone's whispering to a tree now
this is all I am so please don't follow me
and it's your brother in the shaft that I'm a-swinging
please let the kindness of forgetting set me free
And on this Sunday someone's sitting down to wonder
where the hell among these mountains will I be?
there's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling
oh, I could hear you sneak around so easily
And I said oh, my Lord, why I am I not strong
like the branch that keeps hangman hanging on
like the branch that will take me home
PS this is a recording of three different songs, none of which are this one, but it's so good! His finger picking is unreal...
