She's All Around

Rain on the pasture is a drug for the land

Ground and water running thick as the blood of a man

Down to the Bluestone, where the house used to be

Now the weeds and the wildflowers all have families to feed

And she's all around you now

The December after was enough to convince

When in our heavy winter jackets we slipped under the fence

And into cathedrals of cedar and pine

Even when we lost her, she was all we could find

And she's all around you now

She's all around you now

The new year comes well before you think it will

Rushes in and dries out, needs time to refill

Three kinds of life, all sights to be seen

The end and the beginning and the evergreen

She's all around you now

She's all around you now
