Ready

I Just Don’t Know (feat. Rob Gillibrand on Piano)

Sometimes the simplest of things
can bring peace in a troubled time.

Lyrics;
On the cool green grass
Watching big white clouds
Under a bright blue sky

The sun brings the heat
The trees bring the shade
For this worn and weary guy

In a slight cool breeze
There's a hint of change
Like a valley at the foot of a mountain range
For the shade of trees
The cool green grass
And the warmth of the summer never lasts

I'd rather be here
than anywhere
And watch the clouds
That float up there

With a soft cool breeze
flowing through my hair
As the leaves dance slow
In the summer air

This peaceful moment will carry me
Through the changes to come inevitably
A hand to hold for pain that a life can give
A cushion for the crashes in this life I live

The white clouds blend
Into a coat of grey
To cover the bright blue sky

It's time to go
Before the rain comes down
Upon this worn and weary guy

Cataracts

Andrew Bird
