Break Through the Blue
© Jason Paul Johnston 2009

Nothing left but this, so it will do
A few grains in my hand, when all the rest have run through
Nothing left is green, at least in view
Seeds are deep enough but these bills are past due

I guess that means I wait here till
the rain breaks through the blue

Had some helping hands but they are gone
Fed them well enough, it was an honest job
But dry ground tilling is hard work to do
At the end of the day, when your strength & sweat has all run through

I guess that means I wait here till
the rain breaks through the blue

If there was a dance, I would get on my feet
To form the clouds when I call, storms when I speak
But amount of branch waving seems to stir you
No old magic is strong enough to do

I guess that means I wait here till
the rain breaks through the blue
