Mabel Mabel coming o'er the hill
Flowers on the table
And a pie on the windowsill
Maple syrup and
A pitcher full of cream

Life is but a dream

I reach way down into my past
Feel around for the stuff that lasts
Found these scars and photographs
Some love I lost
And plans I had
I’m keeping’ my hand on this gospel plow
Raise something up from this shallow ground
This time
I reach way down into my past
Feel around for the stuff that lasts
Found these scars and photographs
Some love I lost
And plans I had
I’m keeping’ my hand on this gospel plow
Raise something up from this shallow ground

Time is precious, don't let it pass you by.
THIS TIME
The Ides of March turned cold again
With a heavy frost and a steady wind
Been out here walking on thin ice my friend
But I don't need a place to
