The Heartbroken Fireside Blues
What can you say
out there in the fog
in want of the old flame,
you burnt your last log
The memories are hot
the pain you remember
beneath all the ashes,
that last glowing ember
Don't bother to fan it
there's no fuel to burn
let it go out
save the ash for the urn
turn your attention
to wood that needs chopping
do something worthwhile,
like sweeping and mopping
Sweep out the soot
and mop up your tears
clean out the attic
let go of your fears
Put on the blues
then something upbeat
get on your warm clothes
walk out to the street
Follow it down
to the steamy creek bed
The mineral water
is something, it's said
melts away sadness
and heats up your head
better than anywhere
else I've been led
Water and Truth
are hardly the same
but spoken by God
and heated by flame
springs from the Rock
, eternally true
flows through the mind
much better than brew
Comforts the soul
and eases the dread
lightens the burden
and raises the dead
this is the stuff that
He baptized us in
Hope for the weary,
forgiveness of sin
Gave us His Word
which will stand and deliver
won't ever forsake us
'cause He is The Giver
and when life is dreary,
and love let's you down
you're feeling all weary,
as if you might drown
read Psalm Twenty-Three
and you'll get to the part
He leads you to water,
and rest for your heart
lie back in the warmth,
pulled free from the mire
be freed from the past,
and forever on fire'!
