Connor Danstrom - Remember When

You talked too softly
When we gathered on a front porch
On an evening I remember back when
I was searching for
Something more than what I had but that
I wasn’t really sure I wanted yet
And when you told me
How much this all would cost me
I thought that you were joking but you weren’t
And it still haunts me
A ballad or the smell of sable
It’ll be a while before I sleep
Remember when
The wind turned to a gravel road
The tyranny of everything must go
Now I know
That the dog days are behind us
And it’s almost over now
And now I’m easy
O the mornings
When we shared our daily bread
As diesel engines roared we whispered our Amen
Now I wonder
If that was then and this is now
Forever’s always some time ‘til we’re dead
O the evenings
When we sat between the embers
And the stars were lit by torches on the hill
We met our maker
On a tailgate in the panhandle
Where right angles lived only in our heads
I’m not sure
Why a carpenter in Palestine
Would love me or turn water into wine
All I know
Is that he’s alive because of love
And so are you and I
And now I’m easy
