Still I Have

Lyrics

Still I have One breath then another Still I have the promise of today Still I have endless hours to wonder Still I have only circumstance to blame Swirling round and round Like so much dirty water Headed to an ocean filled with tears Still I have blessings from above me Still I have all my fingers and my toes Still I have family to love me Still I have your smell on my clothes Left to dream about how you used to touch me Soft and silent in the middle of the night Still I have memories like a canvass Moving pictures of what used to be Still I have good fortune on my doorstep I hear the knock of opportunity My human condition is battered but unbroken Stitch me up and put me back in the game That's what I have Repeat

Description

Short Song Description: Longing, grieving, gratitude, perspective.

Long Song Description:

Story Behind the Song: Written at the end of a bad day. Was inspired while staring at my pond listening to "Prairie Home Companion." That particular show was featuring artists under the age of twenty. I heard so much talent that I decided to stop pouting and start writing. Grabbed my guitar, and this (IMHO) lovely melody came to me. I wrote this song quickly- once my mood changed it just kinda poured out of me.
