Album: Life So Far
FYC 65th Grammys
Best Folk Album

Another day fades
And the year is nearly gone
Fall surrenders
The winter solstice has begun

The ground is hard as iron
And the river turned to stone
Outside I stir the fire
Study shadows as they grow

They jump across a sleeping landscape
Play pantomime among the trees
I join the game to guess their secrets

While all around me
All around me
Are the stars

All around me
Yes all around me
Are the stars

As the flames die
The dark pushes back the light
When fire burns to coal
The shadows slip into the night

Winter’s spell is cast at twilight
Shifting light from orange to blue
To lavender that ends in darkness

Now all around me
All around me
Are the stars

All around me
All around me
Are the stars

All around me
They keep me company
All the stars
All the stars

Life So Far

All Around Me

Detroit summers on our block: shouts, friendly and otherwise, kids’ street games and music – always music.

Ten Buck Luck

Porches

Most of our luck has snuck up on us, and some has been patient. Years ago my wife gave me a ten dollar guitar. After half a lifetime I found it again.

All Around Me
