For my son

Lyrics

Blazetown - Erik Haakenstad

I woke up this morning, and what did I hear?
My sweet Lady’s whisper, tickling my ear
She said “I’ve got a secret, I’m keeping real close
But as you’re involved, I guess you ought to know”

Blaze is in town, and he’s holding tight
He made his own way, through that long half-light
Yes Blaze is in town, he’ll be a son of a gun
When Blaze is in town, we’re gonna have us some fun

It’s hard to believe it, but I swear that it’s true
I dreamt you were coming, though your eyes were blue
In the white and gray echoes, you signaled thumbs up
Soon be ready to roll now, just about had enough

Blaze is in town, and he’s holding on strong
He made his own way, but it won’t be long
Yes Blaze is in town, he’ll be a son of a gun
When Blaze is in town, we’re gonna have us some fun

She woke me this evening, and what did I hear?
We’d better get going, the time is now near
No hanging around waiting till the break of dawn
In the early morning hours, black hair skinny legs big feet and all

Yes Blaze is in town, and he’s coming on strong
He’ll make his own way, and it won’t be wrong
Yes Blaze is in town, he’ll be a son of a gun
Now that Blaze is in town, you know we’re gonna have fun
