Overdue thank you

We were given an album a while ago by one of our dearest friends. And we appreciated the music for many reasons. The is a Middlebury connection, an artist we have enjoyed in the past and it is fantastic acoustic music.

I was out driving the other day and this one song came up on the iPod. And it suddenly struck me. Not that it wasn't pointed out before by our friend but for some reason the song suddenly rang true.

I finally heard the lyrics. I finally heard the notes. It finally came together and made sense.

So thanks Fibby. I needed this!


If I could wash your fears away
And walk you down to the waters edge
Read your fortune in the stars above
If it would set your mind at ease.

And I would take your hand in mine
We would sing a new song
Walk you home by the light of the April moon
If it would set your mind at ease.

Lay your worries and your trouble by the front door, Son
C'mon in 'cause it's supper time
May your heartache bother you no more, Son
Little child of mine.

If I could chase those clouds away
And turn that raining into sunshine
If I could speak the healing of your heart
You know I would set your mind at ease.

Lay your worries and your trouble by the front door, Son
C'mon in 'cause it's supper time
May your heartache bother you no more, Son
Little child of mine.

Darling won't you play with me
Hem these rays of sunlight
Darling won't you stay with me
'Til I know that it's alright

Alright, yeah
Alright, yeah

Sweet child don't cry
And I will sing a lullaby
Sweet child don't cry
And I will sing a lullaby
