Verse 1:
                                                       
	Blow on you restless wind, up to your old tricks again.
	                                                                   
	Bear down you Texas sun, you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run.
                                                                 
	Splintered wood rusty chains, this old front porch swing remains.
                                                               
	A pendelum of memories, goes back and forth on a summer breeze.


Chorus:
                                      
	Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes
	                          
	From the days way back before my time.
                                    
	With a little child upon my knee
	      
	Singing every sweet word back to me.
	                   
	Look how far I had to come
	                       
	To get back where I started from.
                 
	With a childs wisdom passin' time
	                                      
	Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes.

Verse 2:
                                                                     
	I've run the race I've walked the wire,I paid the price of my desire
                                                                   
	And the only time I've known it all, is just before I took a fall.
	                                                   
	So howl you lone coyote song, fade to sapphire sky of dawn.
                                                          
	Count me in the lucky men, to send the world around again.

Chorus.
