John Ralston A Small Clearing Lyrics

A Small Clearing Lyrics

Used to be surrounded

By a forest of pine

But I made a small clearing

I called it mine



There was mist every morning

It hung suspended in air

Diffusing rays of the sunlight

Making a glow of the glare



Is it a funeral for heart and soul?

Is it a funeral for heart and soul?



One day some strangers stopped over

And so I wasn't alone

They started to like it out here

They started calling it home



Retreated into my bedroom

I was locked, barred and bored

And now the bird at my window

She doesn't sing anymore



Is it a funeral for heart and soul?

Is it a funeral for heart and soul?



I need you, sing to me

At the top of your lungs

At the top of your lungs



You never cared so why would you start now?

You never cared so why would you start now?

You never cared so why would you start now?

You never cared why would you start now?
