“Changes Come…”

Four stones from a Riverton beach, picked up and polished by my wife, in the second batch of stones she tumble polished.

“There is all this untouched beauty, The light, the dark both running through me…”

Changes come, turn my world around
Changes come, turn my world around

I have my father’s hand
I have my mother’s tongue
I look for redemption in everyone

I wanna wear your ring
I have a song to sing
It ain’t over babe
In fact it’s just begun

Changes come, turn my world around
Changes come, bring the whole thing down

I wanna have our baby
Some days I think that maybe
This old world’s too fucked up
For any firstborn son

There is all this untouched beauty
The light, the dark
Both running through me
Is there still redemption for anyone?

Changes come, turn my world around
Changes come, bring the whole thing down…
