lyrics

Heard a loon on the lake at dawn
Telling me that the ice is gone
Spring returning with the sun
To scenes of isolation
See the garden lose its snow
You can reap if you learn to sew
Blessed are the things that grow
From seeds of isolation

Watch the world implode with consternation
Turning to our leaders for salvation
Everybody all across the nation
Wringing hands in quiet desperation

Fearful as events unfold
But if we do the things we’re told
Silver linings turn to gold
In scenes of isolation

Spending time in silent meditation
Practicing our distance education
Everybody all across the nation
Joining hands as one in isolation

Read the books piled by the bed
Learn a language, bake some bread
But leave the bagpipes in the shed
In scenes of isolation
Heard the loons on the lake at dawn
Another month has come and gone, but
The time will come to move beyond
These scenes of isolation

“Great lyric perspective,” Vallance said after reviewing Paul’s I Don’t Wanna Write A Song. An “excellent song.”

This is honest music.
