Heavy Steps

Always been one to please

A sliver in the pile

Some take more than they bring

Like sinkholes in Centralia

What know your hand can't be held

If you keep it in a fist

Sleep well to this

In the morning you'll find

Heavy steps quiet

Worry turns to wonder

And you don't have to be alone

Tugging at the stitches

Oh untie the work you've done

Oh once a victim twice a fool

I caught you looking at once

But I hate to be away

But you taught me to chase the wide world

You learn to love to live to barter

Love to learn to live to settle no longer

In the morning you'll find

But heavy steps quiet

Worry turns to wonder

And you don't have to be alone

You're the best I know

And dwelling doesn't suit you

Those days they don't define you

Don't give a damn

What others throw

Get stuck a holding hands with what's behind

Because the heavy steps quiet

And you are not alone
