From the recording Out in the Country
Sometimes we get so busy that we hit a breaking point and yearn for...nothing...for a few days. Downtime is a gift from time to time, in cases forced from sickness or other circumstance, enabling us to reflect and restore.
Lyrics
Straighten that crooked picture on the wall, scrape that spot of paint off the bedroom floor, clean out the drawer that catches all, put down the words of a brand new song...Oh...or Just breathe
Take a little nap, take a long walk, tend to the hens longer than usual, listen to the birds, plant a new seed, the one left when the first one didn’t take
Call a friend you haven’t heard from in a while, bake a recipe you had learned as a child, play with the dogs, but they’re asleep, so pet ‘em softly, so ever sweet, Oh...and just breathe
I have finally found the time
I finally have time
Find time to unwind
The freedom’s mine
Recline, have some wine
It’s nearly Nine
Ohhhhh
Just breathe
