about

True story of a vivid dream and visceral experience of forgiveness.

lyrics

I met my father all dressed in yellow
(Take heed take warning, daughter)
And the light was soft and strange around him
(There are many things to know).

Hello father, how can you be here?
(Take heed take warning, daughter)
You have been gone for these 3 years
(There are many things to know.)

And such sweetness in your smile
(Take heed take warning, daughter)
Do you bring good news from the dead?
(There are many things to know)

Father sat across from me, then
(Take heed take warning, daughter)
And quietly began to read
(There are many things to know)

Oh father, oh father, I could not trust you
I had no warning, father
You anger closed the door of my young heart
(There are many things to know)

But as I dream you in sunny yellow
(Take heed take warning, daughter)
I know my heart can open wider
(There are many things to know)

I look across at my young father,
unsure of what to do or say.
My fear tells me I must ignore him.
My loves & labors take me away.
But as I close my cloak of labor, I catch his eye once
more - in case.
And there is laughter coming through me.
And there is laughter on his face.

Oh he looked up, yes, he laughed with me
I need no warning, father
And in that laughter, sweet forgiveness

That is what I came to know
