A simple, heart-warming anthem to family life. With a whiff of terror.
Another song once strummed now fingerpicked. A simple and straightforward song about how happiness wipes the memory clean of your own, and others’, misfortunes. It also marks the time my life passed into something like adulthood. The closing song of the CD.
Yes I’m Only Guessing
Walking along my heart is singing
Wondering what today is bringing
And it’s so easy to forget
That there are cripples baby walking in the street
And hungry men who have food enough to eat
And it’s so easy to forget
And yes I’m only guessing
But I think I could be right
I want to stay forever
I want to stay tonight
My hands are healing my feet are flying
If I can’t keep a straight face it’s through no lack of trying
But it’s so easy to forget
Today I can smile without having to say “cheese”
I’ve been down on my luck but never down on my knees
And it’s so easy to forget
Now our little boy is asleep in his bed
He’s got a thumb in his mouth, he’s got a dream in his head
And it’s so easy to forget
