Lyrics

Spent 10 years in this old home
10 days cleaning up now that it’s all gone
I ain’t giving up now, but I could use a helping hand
Lives are changed, some are doing OK
Some are waiting on the sun again
Wish this could all be over by the count of 10
Laid the frame and put some nails into it
Built with care and now a river runs through it
These things we cherish are still just things
Oh won’t you take me back to where that hermit thrush sings
All my brothers, all my sisters, and my neighbors keep me afloat
Rain pours, mud slides, dust settles, good people don’t
I ain’t never seen the river high like that
Never seen my little ones cry like that
I guess no growing up ever goes quite as planned
Loved to laugh, now it’s shaded by a frown
Everything was colorful, now everything is brown
Even farmers’ hands have got no fields to tend
Laid the frame and put some nails into it
Built with care and now a river runs through it
These things we cherish are still just things
Oh won’t you take me back to where that hermit thrush sings
All my brothers, all my sisters, and my neighbors keep me afloat
Rain pours, mud slides, dust settles...
People I know…
Are a little more resistant to cold
New England soul
Hardened by the wind-driven snow
If you think you can break what doesn’t bend
I may ask you kindly to think again
Laid the frame and put some nails into it
Built with care and now a river runs through it
These things we cherish are still just things
Oh won’t you take me back to where that hermit thrush sings
All my brothers, all my sisters, and my neighbors keep me afloat
Rain pours, mud slides, dust settles, good people don’t
