lyrics

Amelda gave us her painting and told us what it was all about
The Life of Her Grandmother Down on The Farm
it hung in the back room and everyone talked about it
and then one day in the sunlight i saw every stroke of Amelda’s brush

and what you have within to give
is what lives on after you’re gone

a stranger in Chinatown making miniature bicycles
out of a length of wire using a spray can lid and pair of pliers
in ten minutes i watched it made
it cost me ten bucks all those years ago
the pedals spin and everything
still one of the most precious things i own

what you have within to give
is what lives on after you’re gone

your gift falls where it falls
lands where it lands
see how we eat the catch of the day
but sing songs to the ones that got away

you who put that heart on the head of my coffee
Tamara put the first ribbon in my daughter’s hair
taxi driver works to get his son out of some country
hour after hour and fare after fare

what you have within to give
is what lives on after you’re gone
