Words and Music by Calvin Armerding

lyrics

A cold touch and sound show your face
You haven't turned up but heartbeats awake down the hallways of this old town
You're beating underground

Well you're wearing your mother out
And I'm bearing the carves in her brown
But the flavor of this old row is only of love

And there's going to be a bright light coming soon
And there's going to be some cold wind afternoons
And there's going to be some broken wishes too
But you take the best, and I'll take the rest

Well you'll come into a storm
Of the darkness your father has born
But I'll give you all the light, all the light I have

Let's all hope that you carry the way
That your mother has lived through her days
Strong and confident that love, that love is all she needs

And there's going to be a bright light coming soon
And there's going to be some cold wind afternoons
And there's going to be some broken wishes too
But you take the best, and I'll take the rest

I've been waiting for years to end
All my waiting for hearts all to mend
Now this broken, dry, old drum? It picks right up.

I don't care no more how it sounds
As long as your drum continues to pound
And may I always listen close when you're around

And there's going to be a bright light coming soon
And there's going to be some cold wind afternoons
And there's going to be some broken wishes too
But you take the best, and I'll take the rest
But you take the best, and I'll take the rest
