lyrics

When asked about funny stories
A little slice of your life
To make those who are crying, smile
I try to remember when you were smiling
I try to remember that

Technicolor memories, left to others
It’s lots of fun, til somebody gets hurt
Cabinet full of blue and green, and unopened bottles
Disregard the medicine and always stay on the alert

Shepherd show me how to go
Cause this hillside is so steep
How to gather, how to sow
And how you can feed sheep
If you can’t remember

A cluster of separate sparks
Headlights on another highway
Sleeping rabbit painted on the moon
Familiar prayers whispered in your ear nightly
And you memorize the rhythm of the words
And you recognize the parts that you have learned

Shepherd show me how to go
Cause this hillside is so steep
How to gather, how to sow
And how to you can feed sheep
If you can’t remember

A cluster of separate sparks
Headlights on another highway
Sleeping rabbit painted on the moon
Familiar prayers whispered in your ear nightly
And you memorize the rhythm of this world
And you recognize the patterns you have heard
