All The Whiles Lyrics

Meet me down by the age old mine

All my brothers and my sisters will come we can all chime in

Telling stories, fireside

No second thought of dinner or of time

Open eyes in silver light

Keep a notepad and a rabbit's foot close to my bedside

Hoping that we'll never cry

Or give our parents over to the sky

Meet me out at a half past nine

I heard the man in the moon steps out of his shell each night

Running towards the deep horizon

Shake the hand that has a tight grasp on the tide

I've never seen the countryside

Take the rage of a winter storm, left swept in white

Telling us to take the night

Remember those bleak, dark times for all the whiles

Spent the week in the back of the old oak wardrobe

Ain't like any Georgia snow

Spun up by the wind, tea cold on the stove

Miles and miles of wild grove

Who would leave this place?

Who would kiss the bruises left on your face?

Over and over

Stand proud like a soldier for me

River running wild,

Throw me on your shoulders, head to the sky

Over and over and over and over

Stand proud like a soldier (stand proud)

Just for me
