Lyrics
EVERY SONG
the thunder it rattled like African Drums
thru every forest and clearing
she borrows her sorrows and silently hums
a song that alone she is hearing
cool august rain against mandolin strings
will her warnings be heeded
the melody's rolling down every mountain
clearly there are no words needed
mother nature wrote every song
including the one I am singing
she gave it to me to pass on to you
can you not here her bells ringing
western wind blowing through a harmonica
up empty streets lined with benches
the coyote's call can be heard by all
the soldiers lined up in their trenches
mother nature wrote every song
including the one I am playing
she wrote all the words and handed them down
can you not hear what she is saying
the sparrow at flight knows every chorus
the leaves on the trees they are dancing
the hound dogs tune beneath the full moon
outside each shanty and mansion
