lyrics

Jackrabbit running at the midnight moon

Bullfrog screaming from the cattail dew

Nothing in the world I would rather do

More than skipping flat rocks in this silver pool


I'm so happy when I'm with you

I think you're the gal that I always knew

Would come around and reel me up from the deep dark blue

Showed me love, showed me truth, showed me kindness, too


Glassy-eyed looking out a window pane

With a spider web fracture in the pouring rain

Inside a school bus with a chimney and a green tin frame

I think we moved into a painting with a cheesy name


And I've gotten lucky with some things before

Like the mouse who finds a bed beneath our canvas floor

Like the boy growing up who never sees the war

I am lucky as a devil, I don't know what for


There's a compass on the skin

On the top of your right foot

You get your equilibrium

From the song that your dad sung

I think the optimist within

Is alive and he's faithful

That when the thunderclouds roll in

There's a golden sun just waiting

To chime in
