When the Good Lord Grins



last night the wind was howlin

like the Holy Spirit mysterious
and in this dream i was walking
with a man i didn't know

there was a carnival in a meadow
and a preacher on a soap box
Palestinians and Jews
and a woman moaning low

call me on the phone
i need to hear your voice
need to hear your laugh
true love is a choice

let's talk till midnight
when the new day begins
it's when the universe sighs
it's when the good Lord grins

last night was a good friends concert
Lord that man is a guitar playing fool
like a child full of joy over something
but it's a secret he ain't telling you.

driving home late in the darkness
humming a tune in my head i've never heard
life' electric, vibrant, and vicious..
but we got a God who even cares about birds..

call me on the phone
i need to hear your voice
i need to hear your laugh
true love is a choice

let's talk until midnight
when the new day begins
it's when the universe sighs
it's when the good Lord grins

we all walk in this mystery of real life and dreams
we taste miracles and drive vehicles
with every person seeing different color schemes

some see green, some see blue,
others see in back and white,
tell me, did you understand what that singer was trying to say tonight..?

call me on the phone
i need to hear your voice
i need to hear your laugh
true love is a choice

let's talk till midnight
it's when the new day begins
it's when the universe sighs
it's when the good Lord grins

wkm
Nashville
for Phil, the guitar playin fool.
