Pushing Up Daisies

[tn_8tiv]

On Garth Brooks new "Scarecrow" album, there is a song - "Pushing up Daisies". The lyrics are a great analogy on life. A couple of stanzas are particularly meaningful. Can anyone guess which ones they are?

"Pushing Up Daisies" (Garth Brooks)

Sometimes I tell you
The way that I feel
I swear that
I'm going crazy

Keep telling myself
It ain't that big a deal
It's better than
Pushing up daisies

I felt the arrow from
Death's fatal quiver
Come so close
It actually grazed me

I bled the blood and
I felt the cold shiver
God only knows how
He saved me

There's two dates in time
That they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows
What they mean

What's more important is
The time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between

Sometimes my heart is
As true as a dove
Sometimes my heart
It betrays me

So I draw my sword for
To fight for my love
But without a whisper
She slays me

My mother died but somehow she keeps living
She'll never cease to amaze me
Now Dad turns his back on each day that he's given
Because he'd rather be pushing up daisies

There's two dates in time
That they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows
What they mean

What's more important is
The time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between

Sounds like a great song....I love his song "The River"


You know a dream is like a river
Ever changin' as it flows
And a dreamer's just a vessel
That must follow where it goes
Trying to learn from what's behind you
And never knowing what's in store
Makes each day a constant battle
Just to stay between the shores.. and

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Too many times we stand aside
And let the waters slip away
'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow
Has now become today
So don't you sit upon the shoreline
And say you're satisfied
Choose to chance the rapids
And dare to dance the tide.. yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

And there's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all.. yes

I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
So I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry

Yes, I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
'Til the river runs dry

I haven't listened to Garth's new cd, yet.

I always enjoyed his earlier stuff.

Before he realized he was good.

Yes, I think this new CD has a lot of "old" Garth in it. By the way, what do you think of these lyrics?

There's two dates in time
That they'll carve on your stone
And everyone knows what they mean
What's more important is the time that is known
In that little dash there in between
That little dash there in between

That sounds pretty. Is it off the new cd?

Rather meloncholy...

Yes, it is rather meloncholy. I'm not usually drawn to this deep kind of shit but for some reason this morning, it just kind of hit me as good. Also, these stanzas got me in a shitty mood. Guess I just need some tlc

Sometimes my heart is
As true as a dove
Sometimes my heart
It betrays me

So I draw my sword for
To fight for my love
But without a whisper
She slays me
