Lyrics
The Wonder
There’s a song in my soul for the sun going down
When it dies at the end of the day
With the sadness descending as soft as the sound
Of the life that was slipping away
The heavens above me seem empty and gray
As dreams that won’t ever come true
Then the star-spangled glory of love fill the skies
And my heart with the wonder of you
Pretty berries I carry to you
Pretty flowers still hold in your hand
Pretty reasons for dreams coming true
And for doing the best that you can
I swear to be thankful the rest of my days
And worthy whatever I do
For the chance I was given to live and believe
In the love and the wonder of you
THE PILGRIM
WITH KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
WRITER KRIS KRISTOFFERSON
See him wasted on the sidewalk in his jacket and his jeans
Wearin’ yesterday’s misfortunes like a smile
Once he had a future full of money love and dreams
Which he spent like they was going out of style
And he keeps right on a changin’ for the better or the worse
And searchin’ for a shrine he’s never found
Never knowin’ if believin’ is a blessin’ or a curse
Or if the going up is worth to coming down
He’s a poet he’s a picker he’s a prophet he’s a pusher
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher and a problem when he’s stoned
He’s a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction
Taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home
He has tasted good and evil in your bedrooms and your bars
And he’s traded in tomorrow for today
Runnin’ from the devils Lord and reachin’ for the stars
And losin’ all he loved along the way
But if this world keeps right on turning for the better or the worse
All he ever gets is older and around
From the rocking of the cradle to the rolling of the hearse
The going up was worth the coming down
He’s a poet he’s a picker…
There’s lotta wrong directions on that lonely way back home
