That old wind catcher sings the same old tune
I’m just sittin’ here starin’ at the moon
I look to the heavens and I walk to the shore
And I pray that I’ll be with you soon
She said live by the truth and your road will shine
Oh but you don’t know my mind
How do we sing songs 'bout love like a rock
When no one can stay true
Oh Stephanie, did you want to see
If you could hold your heart in your hands so long and let it go
Oh Stephanie, did you want to see
If you could hold your heart in your hands so long and let it go
And be unbroken
Oh the spirit told me I’m down in a hole
That man is takin' all he can
That man is me, honey, why can’t you see
I been tryin' to give it back
That old wind catcher sings the same old tune
I’m just sittin’ here starin’ at the moon
I look to the heavens and I walk to the shore
And I pray that I’ll be with you soon
Oh Stephanie, did you want to see
If you could hold your heart in your hands so long and let it go
Oh Stephanie, did you want to see
If you could hold your heart in your hands so long and let it go
And be unbroken

The musicianship--it is ALIVE, PULSING and joyous, sometimes quietly, sometimes raucously, always with their hearts in it. Among all the gems, Old Paint's banjo is one of the most beautiful arrangements ever, and that Cocaine Blues really swings--great fiddling, Josh! lenapple
