Linda James (OurVinyl Sessions)

Linda James was a good damn woman

She gave everyone her light

She had a taste for the simple things ,

What it took to make a good life

She said love as much as you can

Give your gratitude at night

Be thankful for each and every day

That you get to see the sunrise

Don’t take your dogs /parents /that love for granted

Don’t you do nothing in spite

and take care of the people

And you won’t need a steeple

To give the world your light

In the land of the thousand churches

Seems that everyones a saint

But there are few and far between

Like our sister Linda James

She passed her light to her children

Who then passed it on to their own

It’s amazing how love just ripples out

And we get to watch it all grow

Bridge

Love will teach the fish how to swim

It teaches the birds how to fly

It’ll light up your lantern in the middle of the night

And go with you for the rest of your life

Some people find it in their preacher

Some find it in their friends

Some find it in a long lost woman

And others find it in the wind
