about

This track was written for my Grandmother Janet Tarrant on her birthday 2012.

lyrics

The soundtrack of an open mind open heart
its a sound that fills the belly up and its rare to find
you've been giving your whole life, giving favors
and I am new to what is right i'm new to these shoes

and I am watching you
and I would learn from you

The Branches of all the living children underneath you
the blankets one by one, your hands are kept full
You've spent your time in the rain, in the shine
Roots underground you're here you're gone

and I am watching you
and I would learn from you

You've been letting people in to the inside
seen all seven types of sin among those around you
you've had your days your nights and your afternoons
A train car, a memory thats past the living elder

and I am watching you
and I will one day be you
