From the recording October Gifts
Lyrics
The lyrics:
Wanna go, mid-October? Leaves will sure be turning by that time. You and I and our good dog will walk into the tall grass and the pines.
To walk on in the woods, walk on in the woods, carry all we need upon our backs. Listen to the wind, listen to the wind, blow the fallen leaves across our tracks.
Stop to look at the prairie. Kiss at ever signpost on the way. Down the trail across the old paved road, pumpkins are for sale and neighbors wave.
Walk on in the woods, yeah, walk on in the woods, see the pheasant take to flight before we pass. Listen to the wind, listen to the wind, sway the trees with the reminders of the past.
This is just a get-away, but right now it’s where we live. When we return to our burdened lives, we’ll see everything as gift. As gift, it’s all a gift.
See the spark and the firelight, it captures all the brightness in your eyes. You and I, and the frosty starlight. Telling all our secrets to the sky.
To walk on in the woods, walk on in the woods, feeling all the miles in our feet. Listen to the wind, listen to the wind, snap the tarp like a flag ‘till we sleep.
