A crooked heart still has a rhythm
I’ve got a little routine that I learned from before
My mouth around a tune that rises up too soon
Cold air blowing through a crack in the door [x2]
Now and then it falls out of straight time
Skipping over the water, and it’s hidden from view
And an ordinary wind starts rising up again
Starts pushing me over and closer to you [x2]
I once thought the heart had no reason
And I hid it a while or I gave it on loan
Now I know it’s there because it’s easier to be there
Chipping and breaking when I go it alone [x2]
The wind bends the backs of all the jackpines
Clouds so low they’re almost not there
I’m shifting around on the last piece of home ground
Early fall hanging high in the air [x2]
This album grows on me more and more with each listen. Bodner's approach to taking traditional music and reworking it and weaving it into his own personal narrative is amazing. On Into Grace, his own narrative is in the forefront. mad_wanderer
