Gathering wood


I’m gathering wood, branches and leaves,

I’m gonna build a fire for you.

I’m gonna climb that hill for all the valley to see,

Red and yellow chasing our blues away…

I’ve got my outsides out, I’ve got my insides in,

I’m a boy, it’s what we do,

But if I’m talking too much, without saying enough,

It never seems to bother you.

When your outside is in and your inside is out,

You know I’ve got a good word for you,

Before the last page is turned and our lesson’s been learned,

I hope you’ll find one for me too.

Well, I could do better with this wire and wood,

I think I could fool you though I’m not sure I should,

Instead I will try with word and deed

And all of the good, that’s left in me.

I’m losing pace, I’m not losing face,

I’m just fighting with a mood,

But if I lose my temper, I’ve got no excuse,

To ever raise this voice to you.

When your outside is in and your inside is out,

You know I’ve got a good word for you,

Before the last page is turned and our lesson’s been learned,

I think you’ll find one for me too.

I’m gathering wood, branches and leaves,

I’m gonna build a fire for you.

I’m gonna climb that hill for all the valley to see,

Red and yellow chasing our blues away.
