Heart in the Snow

Verse 1:
I left my heart in the snow ‘cause I didn’t know
If I’d ever need it again
But when winter ‘came spring, you found that old thing
And mistakenly thought it was a gem
So you took it inside, and hung it by the fire
There was something you saw, as it began to thaw
What a treasure you thought you had found
A piece of junk when I left it on the ground
See you didn’t know that the valves wouldn’t close
And the tenderness was low as far as tenderness goes
And it wouldn’t pump blood, the tubing was full of crud
Its capacity to love was shot
Chorus:
But you loved it anyway
And you love it still today
What were you thinking when you picked it up
And thought it could be saved
Verse 2:
When I saw the lost and found ad you posted throughout town
I didn’t recognize the description
Stared at the paper on the pole and felt sorry for the soul
Missing such a lovely organ
So I called the contact number to see if I could help
And your voice was sweet as candy and soft as felt
You said, “Meet me at the diner at nine,
I’ll bring the heart along to show it’s genuine”
And when you showed it to me I couldn’t believe the repairs
You’d performed on the chambers with skill and care
The stitching unflawed, the plumbing unclogged
Fully capable of love
And my reply, was one of disbelief
Why would you, put yourself through all that grief
For a broken heart
Chorus
Verse 3:
Then it clicked in my brain, I’d been heartless for months
I hadn’t laughed or cried, no not even once
Then I realized the heart you were holding was mine
Oh-oh it was mine
Chorus

Herd

If I should ever think to wander away
Please do not count me as a stray
For you know my weakness and that to which I’m prone
So if I try to leave the fold in order to roam
Just call out my name
It will only take one word
For me to recognize the loving master of my herd
If danger should ever come to frighten me
Please be the protector of this helpless sheep
For I have seen you wrestle off the lion and the bear
And heard how you’ve watched over me while I’ve slept unaware
And if I call out your name
It will only take one word
For you to come running, oh loving master of my herd
And if I call out your name
It will only take one word
For you to rescue me, oh loving master of my herd
Just call out my name
It will only take one word
For me to recognize the loving master of my herd

Hey Richard
There isn’t much that I can do
About your situation
But I heard every little bit helps, so that’s what I’ll give to you
And, yeah, your appreciation
Is the most heart-felt thing I have ever seen
It’s the most heart-felt thing I have ever seen
The way you break down when it touches you
Your empty eyes start tearing blue
When a single tear touches your face it starts to shake
Your body’s worn so thin, your soul radiates
And you told me all about the bomb
That hit one hundred miles away
And how it somehow hit so close
Because of the look on one child’s face
It’s the type of sensitivity that can’t be found
In this modern, fogged-up age
I’m glad a heart so delicately crafted
Sits within your glass display
The way you break down when it touches you
Your empty eyes start tearing blue
When a single tear touches your face it starts to shake
Your body’s worn so thin, your soul radiates

Janitorial Staff

Lord
All I ask
Is to be on the janitorial staff
In the hall where your orchestra plays
I’d scrape the gum off the bottom of the seats
With a joy in my heart on my hands and knees
Just to prepare the venue for your praise
I know how glorious it is the sound you make
Just to contribute I’d take the lowest rank
But you’re not asking just for help with preparation
You’re calling me to play
And you’re giving out lessons
And you composed the tune
You are the great conductor
You’re notes always ring out as truth
And even if you only give me a kazoo
Oh, Lord, I’ll play my heart out for you
Lord
All I ask
Is to be worthy to unfastern your sandal strap
On the feet you've been walking on all day
I'd wipe the dirt away from every leather crease
With a joy in my heart on my hands and knees
Just to have a means for my affection to display
I know the joy it is to follow in your way
I'd trace your footsteps through the desert clay
But you're not leading me out into isolation
You're walking beside me
And you're carrying the baggage
And you're setting the pace
You are my inspiration
You're why I run this race
And even as the soles are wearing out in these shoes
Oh, Lord, I'll run my heart out for you
And even as the soles are wearing out in these shoes
Oh, Lord, I'll run my heart out for you

Riddle

I've got a riddle in my pocket you can't understand
I take it most every day
It lifts up my eyes when I cannot stand
It makes me feel ok
In the nick of time I pull out my poison
To cloud out the problems of the day
It clears out my head, gives me peace of mind
It makes me feel ok
I'll go all the way to the bottom
Of the bottle I hold in my hand
It helps me remember old friends I'd forgotten
It takes me to that land
Where all of the stories I hold in my head
They come to me all at once
And of all the things that make me feel better
Darling, you can count yourself as one

Beccy O now Beccy A
I find you today
The most beautiful woman that I know
We will stay together through the good and through the bad
The weather it will do what it may do
But you will never see the end
Oh Beccy, my best friend, of the love I pledge today to you
There’ll be times when we’re on top of the world
With smiles on our faces
Filled with God’s graces
Our shoes tied together with the laces of love
And there’ll be times when things don’t go as we planned
When our skin requires stitches
Our cars end up in ditches
Our voices shake and sputter, miss the pitches of our song
But smile or frown
Should you stand or fall down
As your skin collects wrinkles
And dust gathers on your wedding gown
I’ll sing to you
Beccy O now Beccy A
I find you today
The most beautiful woman that I know
We will stay together through the good and through the bad
The weather it will do what it may do
But you will never see the end
Oh Beccy, my best friend, of the love I pledge today to you
You know we’re going to have a lot of fun
In our new home together
Will laugh will dance with tender hearts
Open to sharing each new joy that we will find
And, you know, we’re both bound to cry
And sadness unavoidable
But I look forward to the ways I can
Console the every tear that should fall from your eye
But smile or frown
Should you stand or fall down
As your skin collects wrinkles
And dust gathers on your wedding gown
I’ll sing to you
Beccy O now Beccy A
I find you today
The most beautiful woman that I know
We will stay together through the good and through the bad
The weather it will do what it may do
But you will never see the end
Oh Beccy, my best friend, of the love I pledge today to you
You will never see the end
Oh Beccy, my best friend, of the love I pledge today to you
