A Thin Place

There's a house upon a hillside It over looks the southern sound Tahoma fills the window When the rains aren't coming down A storm blows off the water And she rides in on the wind To gaze upon the crowd who gather in her name Looking thru the thick walls of a Thin Place This old house is built from timbers By skilled Norwegian hands When the mills all went idle Hard time hit the land Every plank of split clear cedar Every peg in chiseled beam Has the hand print of an artist Long gone without a trace Let raise a toast to the ghosts who built this Thin Place A Thin Place can be a mountain alter Where a father's bones now rest Under icy stars at midnight Should we ask for any less? The kind of place the mind can roam Free to contemplate Something far beyond this world of woe Something bigger than one's self In the stillness in the grace of a Thin Place From the hustle for a dollar To the family demands In the fast lane of life's travels We all could use a helping hand By the quiet of still waters We can put away our fears And let the walls of time split open If we listen with our ears To the songs ringing out from a Thin Place And on a dark and silent morning Orion standing in the sky His swords cuts thru the pain of a stubborn heart And in the quiet of the stillness just his ears alone to ring He thought he heard the voice of an angle sing La la la la... On a lichen covered stone On a rise above the herd Sits the name of a man who keeps company with a bird At times I can hear his laugh Carried by the western wind But if only I believed I might walk with him again But that's a hard leap of faith for me in a Thin Place
