	BREAD AND HONEY © 2000 Lowry Olafson and Tom Carter from the CD Days That Disapear Too Soon   -- listen to  Bread and Honey Falling like a dream that you can't remember, Feeling like you just don't know, Sounding like a voice that could be your mother, Calling you to come back home. She was always there when we were young, Bread and honey in the afternoons, Supper steaming up all the kitchen windows, Days that disappeared too soon. CHORUS: Fill this room, with love and light. Release her soul and give it flight. Take her heart into Your care, And use our love to hold it there. Lying in her bed, her strength had failed, Weaker with each passing night, Helpless as a crow whose wings are broken, And has to leave her nest behind. CHORUS Children never know when no one tells them, Not when life is in full bloom. They just wonder why there's no one to make them Bread and honey in the afternoons. CHORUS Order DAYS THAT DISAPPEAR TOO SOON CD DESPERATE WIND © 1982 Lowry Olafson from the CD  'Good Intentions' A desperate wind jostles the trees Hanging moss swaying in the breeze. Is that a voice drifting across, just a memory, Or the wind inside a hollow tree. How could you be the one to leave, So soon in life, just beginning to see? But simple as that you are taken away, How could you go, will you come back to me someday? Chorus: A flurry of wings glancing the waves A face in a cloud, blown away, Where are you now? There was a time when we could play When life was yours and there were no walls. Now there is sand, barren land, here I am, Where are you? Chorus Bridge: Words from a song come sifting through, Friends that we hardly even knew, Children crying mother where are you Life can keep us separate for a time, Distance on the earth or in our minds. A desperate wind jostles the trees Hanging moss swaying in the breeze. Is that a voice drifting across, just a memory, Or the wind inside a hollow tree. Order GOOD INTENTIONS CD AFTER THE RAIN © 1994 Lowry Olafson from the CD 'Good Intentions' After the rain fills the valleys with tenderness, Turning the meadows to green, Flowing with water the rivers will celebrate Long after the clouds disappear. Rain falls for days sometimes weeks like a holy shroud, Forgiving us, washing us clean. Rain can dig down, rain rummages round And rain stirs up what we could keep down. Chorus And the rain falls, the rain falls, the rain falls. The rain falls, the rain falls, the rain falls. But after the rain, you poke your head out, Checking the sky for a shadow of doubt. And after the rain, you wait for the sun, To come shining down on everyone, After the rain falls, the rain falls, the rain falls. I've felt the rain mixed with tears of loneliness Run down my face like a song It steals inside, somehow rain can run underneath As if it were there all along. And the rain falls, washing us clean, The rain falls into our dreams, The rain falls into every life, The rain falls long into the night, The rain falls and it won't go away, The rain falls won't come again another day. After the rain fills the valleys with tenderness, Turning the meadows to green, After the rain. Order GOOD INTENTIONS CD
