Darkness and the Light - Trampled By Turtles

Colorado was so nice, but I’m Minnesota’s son

Even when the cold winds blow in the darkness and the light

And the young folks search for meaning here and the old folks know there’s none

Out your window you can see the world, babe, it’s turning, and it’s gone

And the stars at night, Why do they make you cry?

Don’t you think that I’ll be coming home?

Well it’s not like Sunny, Monterrey in all the Steinbeck books you read

Where the hobos know the secrets and the law just turns their head

We are as close to paradise e’en though you might not hear it said

And the Methodists all bring a dish to share with the ashes on their head

And when the sun’s in the sky we’ll have a class outside

Why do you think that I can be so cold?

I’m not scared of much here anymore;

wait, friends, that was a lie

'Cause I’m scared to death of losing you, to be alone, high and dry

And I know you worry about time and money

But don’t you know those things, they come and go?
