A Song for November

[khaosworks]

The One Who Knows
Dar Williams

Time it was I had a dream
And you're the dream come true
If I had the world to give
I'd give it all to you
I'll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I'll show you how this life became a miracle to me

You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows

All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest won
I will watch you struggle long
Before the answers come
But I won't make it harder
I'll be there to cheer you on
I'll shine the light that guides you down
The road you're walking on

You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows

Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
I want to teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and laugh and say
It all went by too fast

You'll fly away
But take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job's done you'll be the one who knows

She's magic

BTW, I brought your "Banned from Arkham" to a filksing we had recently and it cracked people up. Good stuff.

Any update on that CD? Or should I just be asking Bill Roper? :-)

Bill Sutton, actually.

But it'll be here. Within the year. Hopefully.

Wow, you're on a heck of a creative roll. Keep it up!

No, no, that's not me. That's Dar Williams. See the credit?

I only wish I could write like that.

misread...

Oh. For some reason I thought it was a -filk- of a Dar Williams song.

Well, you've -still- been on a heck of a creative roll, from what I've been seeing...

Dar Williams!

I'm having difficulty locating her latest album, which is most annoying. And apparently, the filesharing servers I use don't know that she exists.

Ahem. You could always *buy* it. You know. Just a suggestion.
