| [00:26.02] |
They both met in themidnight sky, |
| [00:29.23] |
Got lost in each other’s eyes, |
| [00:31.93] |
Then threw away the map and lost the key, |
| [00:38.45] |
God sent them the first two kids, |
| [00:41.44] |
One named Fire, the other one Wind, |
| [00:44.24] |
With a note that floated down for them to read. |
| [00:49.89] |
It said ‘You asked what it was like up here for Me.’ |
| [00:56.53] |
Mother Earth and Father Time, |
| [01:01.94] |
Fell in love overAppalachian wine, |
| [01:08.27] |
Hit a rough spell and almost lost their minds, |
| [01:14.49] |
Raised a little hell beforethey fell in line. |
| [01:20.94] |
Fire came out with a restless soul, |
| [01:24.02] |
That only got worse as he got older, |
| [01:27.27] |
‘Til finally he got too hot to tame. |
| [01:33.60] |
Time said ‘Son I know it’s hard but, |
| [01:37.12] |
You’re breaking your Momma’s heart.’ |
| [01:39.76] |
And Fire looked up through tears that made the rain, |
| [01:44.90] |
He said ‘Why is it everything I love I set aflame?’ |
| [01:51.76] |
Mother Earth and Father Time, |
| [01:57.15] |
Fell in love overAppalachian wine, |
| [02:03.46] |
Hit a rough spell and almost lost their minds, |
| [02:09.74] |
Raised a little hell before they fell in line. |
| [02:16.13] |
Wind was born to the open sky with a, |
| [02:19.72] |
Bad temper and a wandering eye, |
| [02:23.00] |
That kept him on the run for most his days. |
| [02:29.07] |
Earth said ‘Listen, hear my child, see, |
| [02:32.49] |
I used to run that wild, |
| [02:35.40] |
‘Cause it’s hard to put a finger on the pain, |
| [02:41.21] |
But son you can’t outrun a thing like shame.’ |
| [02:47.38] |
Then Time and Earth got on their knees, |
| [02:50.65] |
And prayed ‘Dear God, oh can’t You see? |
| [02:54.01] |
The Fire’s too hot, |
| [02:55.48] |
The Wind’s too cold, |
| [02:57.20] |
And loving them is gonna kill us both.’ |
| [03:00.31] |
Then God reached down and took their hands, |
| [03:03.64] |
Dried their tears, and smiled and said, |
| [03:06.64] |
‘That’s kind of what it’s like up here for Me. |
| [03:12.79] |
Yeah, loving them will cost you everything.’ |
| [03:20.30] |
Mother Earth and Father Time, |
| [03:25.68] |
Fell in love over Appalachian wine, |
| [03:32.15] |
Hit a rough spell and almost lost their minds, |
| [03:38.25] |
Raised a little hell before they fell in line. |
