Everyone's In the House

The lights are low the song is over dishes washed we're under cover

The faucet drips and all is quiet

Stars are out beyond the roof coyotes roam beneath the moon

But I'm wide awake while shadows dance around the room

Everyone Everyone's in the house

The river bends to find its flowers mine will gather in quiet hours

If only in my garden bower

Say the clocks align under storied spire one big love like a sacred choir

Rhythms shared around the fire

I'll count those stars above the trees with 3 boys close and all asleep

I the shepherd with my keep

Tomorrow's wind this boat would lift a flyaway dove in a magic trick

I hold it close mid flight

Sun is up for another turn open the door and let it burn the prodigal son has returned
