Old Church Hymns & Nursery Rhymes Lyrics - Beth Nielsen Chapman

Blow on you restless wind, up to your old tricks again 

Bear down you texas sun, you make the desserts dry and the brush fires run 

Splintered wood rusty chains, this old front porch swing remains 

A pendulum of memories, goes back and forth on a summer breeze 

Chorus: 

Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes 

From the days way back before my time 

With a little child upon my knee 

Singing every sweet word back to me 

Look how far I had to come 

To get back where I started from 

With a child's wisdom passin' time 

Singing old church hymns and nursery rhymes 

I've run the race I've walked the wire, I paid the price of my desire 

And the only time I've known it all, is just before I took a fall 

So howl your lone coyote song, fade to sapphire sky of dawn 

Count me in the lucky men, to send the world around again 

Chorus
