lyrics

In the dark, lives the night
but like old Caliban said, beware the light.

You know in my life, I've been a bear, an eagle, a boyscout, a crusader, a bobcat, a fighting friar, musician, a chorister, a beechwood creeper, lover, leaver, liar, friend,
son, grandson, boyfriend, bump on a log, marching bandsmen, traveller, artist, brother, itinerant, student, reader, learner…

…and that’s just getting started.

I’ve been a terrible tornado, a teacher, a man, a child, a man-child, a collector, a property owner, a bookseller, a commuter, a patient, a customer, a client, a kin, a movie-goer, and that’s not even including all the stuff I’d like to become later…

A husband, father, grandfather, author, craftsman, guitarist, mandolinist, guitar-soloist, you know… you name it.

I hope I get to most of those things, but you really do never know. You never really know whats coming next, you never know what’s right around the bend.

Well, anyway, this is just to say that everyones always talking about being afraid of the dark, but like old Caliban said, in that X-men movie Logan, beware the light, you gotta beware the light too.

In the dark, lives the night
but like old Caliban said, beware the light.
