Lyrics

Pack my past in cardboard boxes
Stow away the pain
Caught off guard by what the clock says
Circling the drain
Heart's an ancient desert stronghold
Mind like late July
Voice that twangs a fletcher's longbow
Eyes reflect the sky

Better days around the corner
Better times ahead
Better light shines in the morning
Better left unsaid

Mountain stream like migrant neighbors
Vines that climb the trees
Can you do me one more favor?
Intertwine our dreams
Better life is ours for making
Grant ourselves this wish
All the work we're undertaking
Yes, it's worth the risk

Better days around the corner
Better times ahead
Better light shines in the morning
Better left unsaid

Let's let loose the chains of caution
Come back from the poles
Let the crows unstuff your strawmen
We'll meet soul to soul

Better days around the corner
Better times ahead
Better light shines in the morning
Better left unsaid
