lyrics

COMMON GROUND words & music: thomson

AUTUMN COMES
AND LEAVES WILL FALL
BADGERS NEST
AND BIRDS WILL CALL
THE FLOCK OUT
FOR THE TRIP
TO WARMER CLIMES
WINDS WILL BLOW IN
FROM THE WEST
ICY BREATHS
THAT TEAR AND BLAST
MAKE YOU WRAP UP WARMER
FROM THE COLD

THROUGH THE SEASONS
THAT COME AND GO
YOU WILL REAP ONLY WHAT YOU SOW
THROUGH THE SEASONS
AROUND AND ROUND
SHARING WITH GODS CREATURES
HERE ON COMMON GROUND

WINTER COMES
AND LIKE ALL GODS CREATURES
YOU HIDE AWAY
AND SEEK THE WARMTH
WHILE SLEET AND SNOW
COME BATTER ON YOUR DOOR
FOGGY DAYS AND ICY NIGHTS
WE GUARD OUR NESTS
AND GATHER TWIGS
STEAL OR KILL SOME FOOD
TO FEED THE YOUNG

LIKE A HEARTBEAT EVERY DAY
IT GETS FASTER EVERY NIGHT
IN ADAN AND EVE’S GARDEN OF EDEN
EVERYTHINGS BEEN ALL RIGHT
EVERYTHING SEEMS ALL RIGHT
