John Ralston - A Small Clearing lyrics

Used to be surrounded

By a forest of pine

But I made a small clearing

I called it mine

There was mist every morning

It hung suspended in air

Diffusing rays of the sunlight

Making a glow of the glare

Is it a funeral for heart and soul?

Is it a funeral for heart and soul?

One day some strangers stopped over

And so I wasn't alone

They started to like it out here

They started calling it home

Retreated into my bedroom

I was locked, barred, and bored

And now the bird at my window

She doesn't sing anymore

Is it a funeral for heart and soul?

Is it a funeral for heart and soul?

I need you

Sing to me at the top of your lungs

At the top of your lungs

You never cared so why would you start now?

You never cared

Why would you start now?

You never cared so why would you start now?

You never cared

Why would you start now?
