Johnsmith, Back to the Mystery

A Great song, set to a collection of images from Trout Creek Garden & Greenhouse. Mostly recent photos, almost all were taken just out our back door... except for two from up near Grand Marais,MN. (can you spot the two??) the song is by our local musician- Johnsmith, Back to the Mystery. Bill Miller chiming in at the end of the tune :-)

Well, tonight Im dancin round this fire,
kickin up some dust
Raisin one big holy racket,
to the heavens above
And Im dancin with my shadow like a scarecrow with the wind
Some ancient rhythm calls me back to the mystery again, yeah

I have traveled down these back roads from the east out to the west
I have gathered seeds of truth, along the way found blessedness
Like the North Star calls the geese back home, something calls to me
Like a sparrow on a fencepost, I feel a need to sing

Chorus: Oh, calling, yeah, calling me
Like the man in the moon calls the deep blue sea
Calling, calling me
Calling me back to the mystery

From the beggars eyes down on Mission Street to the silver Milky Way
I am drawn in by the wonder like a moth into the flame
Like the Medicine Man and the Eskimo, my ear is to the wind
Oh, silently reminding me of the mystery within

Chorus

Hey, its in the air I breathe, its in the tears I cry
Its not the answers but in the longing of the questions why, why, why

I stood in awe the day my children took their first new breath
And I was there beside my father at the hour of his death
Now I will treasure every moment I am given on this earth
And I will vow to the four directions I will not give up my search

Chorus
