Legato Rural Road



Yeah a man will work

For the Jack that creates

Yeah he'll mind his Faith

To find You gone.


Ah the nautic pull...

being tired Splits away,

Heading off the fire

That pays the Lord.


And in days of faith

Getting at the Lord,

The Dawn....... out of "Why?"


Well, the name of fate

Won't unclothe 'cus you die,

But the morning fire's

The way to go.


I wade...

With the Dawn,

And fire from the dark

Getting at that time that 

Fate said, "Go."


I pray...

Where the sun and fire go.

But the fire don't walk

Where I ----go.


Yeah, a man will work

For the Jack that creates

Yeah he'll mind his Faith

To find You gone.


I wade with the dawn,

And fire from the dark

And the morning fire's the way to go



This song is obviously a metaphysical treatment on watching sunrises and sunsets and searching for that certain something that some folks call God.  It's worded a bit redundantly.  So it needs work.  But the basic jist of it I really love.  Besides this was one of the first songs I ever thought sounded more than a bit like Gordon Lightfoot when I sang it, so I added this incredibly cheesy string intro to it, and to this day can't believe it's me when I sing it.  So redundant words haven't yet ruined that.
