Jenee Halstead: Listen

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I ‘m picking up raindrops
I ‘m picking up snow
I ‘m picking up those wild ways
I have never known
I ‘m picking up light in autumn
I ‘m picking up sound and speed
I ‘m picking up that fragrance you wore in 1953

Oh, before I go
To greet my lord, before I go
Picking up all those things I have ever known
‘Cause you can’t take them with you when you go

I ‘m picking up dragonflies through the purple reeds
And I ‘m picking up lemon-aide on the porch with a nice cool cross-breeze
I ‘m dancing in silver grass under a Harvest Moon
Was this our last dance? Darlin’ you just left too soon!

Oh, before I go
To greet my lord, before I go
Picking up all those things I have ever known
‘Cause you can’t take them with you when you go

I ‘m walking the dessert, walking alone
I ‘m crossing the silence to the unknown
Up ahead an oasis, clear my vision please
Is this the paradise I am going? I fall down on my knees!
