From the recording Birdsongs of the American West
Lyrics
These have been some dark days for all of us
But there’s a little light shining through
It seemed that the worst was behind us now
We may have spoken too soon
Apart from loved ones
Alone in the woods
But we have each other love
And we have it so good
We’ll dance in the sunshine
Gather up and break bread
We’ll splash in the puddles all around us
For the tears we have shed
We’ll share a toast to the hard times
And raise a glass for our dead
Pour our hearts out to those still alive and well
Drink up our family and friends
No telling what lies ahead
We’re just along for the ride
Making all this up as we go
Taking each day in stride
We’ll dance in the sunshine
Gather up and break bread
We’ll splash in the puddles all around us
For the tears we have shed
We’ll dance in the sunshine
Shake off this lingering dread
May we all seek a little bit of tenderness
For the years we have left
May we all seek a little bit of tenderness
For the years we have left
These have been some dark days for all of us
But there’s a little light shining through
