about

I wrote this tune originally for my wife's mother, who was getting confused and fearful as she got older. It's me being hopeful. Or whistling in the dark. Except I can't whistle. Anyway, it's one of my favorite on this collection.

lyrics

THE WORLD OUTSIDE

You can try to run, but you just can’t hide
I’m not the one to pour the milk in your eyes
You wanna know what’s going on
Can’t keep control when the controls are gone

Gotta take it easy, gotta take a deep breath
‘Cause it’s not about fear, and it’s not about death
All of us together, we’re just here for the ride
Cleaning up our feathers for the world outside
Yeah, everybody gets a little worried sometimes
But honey don’t panic, ‘cause it’s gonna be fine
We step through that door and we’re all gonna fly
High up in the sunshine of the world outside

You fear your dreams, and you dream your fears
So much confusion, and so many tears
Hard to hold onto things that won’t last
Hard to get to the future when you’re trapped in the past

You were given faulty information
About what was real and true
That’s why you’re stuck here at the station
I know I’d feel the same if I were you

Gotta take it easy, gotta take a deep breath
‘Cause it’s not about fear, and it’s not about death
All of us together, we’re just here for the ride
Cleaning up our feathers for the world outside
Yeah, everybody gets a little worried sometimes
But honey don’t panic, ‘cause it’s gonna be fine
We step through that door and we’re all gonna fly
High up in the sunshine of the world outside

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
