52 WEEK CLUB - WEEK 1 - "YOU WERE FIRST"

lyrics

To swim in the fountain
To dance in the field
To show me the sky, you were first

A drink on the mountain
A secret revealed
A reason to cry, you were first

In a boat on a pond
In a hollow'd out tree
In a west coast bar, you were first

On a stage out of town
On the way to a party
On a bench in the park, you were first

I've always been the last to recognize
What it is I've done for the worst
But in the lowest hour of my life
You showed me that you cared, you were first

Where the dust has settled down
Where the dog digs his holes
Where the beer cans pile up, you were first

At the outskirts of town
At the changing of the rolls
At the bottom of the cup, you were first

In anger and love
From a falcon to a dove
For the one up above, you were first

After all and after none
As the story spins along
We still work it out as one, you were first

I've always been the last to recognize
What it is I've done for the worst
But in that lowest hour of my life
You showed me that you cared, you were first

When the timing is right
And they lay my body down
I want you by my side, you were first
