Every Moment

from Variant One by Kevin Daniel Grant

lyrics

I used to measure out the air
Check the direction of the wind
Check the color of the leaves on trees
To know which month I’m in
Set my watch at every high tide
So I’d know when to begin
Set the table with the sun at noon
Sharpen blade and lead the lamb in
But I’m not waiting anymore
I’m not waiting anymore
I’m not waiting anymore
I’m not waiting anymore
There’s no points that you can tally
And we are not keeping score
I’m not waiting anymore.
I used to measure out the land
Counting steps from here to there
Used to fatten up the lamb
Harvest fields till they were bare
Used to pull the nets across the bay
To see what I could find
Pull it shining from the water
Pull it shining from the brine
But I’m not waiting anymore
I’m not waiting anymore
Set that hook and dip the oar
I’m not waiting anymore
Every moment is the dawn
And I drink it from my hands
I’m not waiting anymore.
