Now Be On Your Way

about

Wrote this on a guitar that was in DADGAD tuning--a creative survival tactic I learned when I was training in the mountains (the Catskils) with Richard Thompson and his band of songwriters.

Now Be On Your Way

Blazing down on the parking lot
looking on at the day that lay ahead
Wholly apart from the physical
is the part that begins inside your head
Now as we face the day
No time to face the way we are

Down in Dallas the rains retreat
after the flooding from the storms
To build a world in the aftermath
—calculations that life depends upon
Now have to face the day
Now have to face the way we are

Ah, ah
Now be on your way
Ah, ah, ah
Now be on your way
Ah, oh

[Instrumental.]

Ah, ah
Now be on your way
Ah, ah, ah
Now be on your way
Ah, oh

You got to pick up where you began
and add in whatever you have learned
drawn by the call of the beautiful
and the karma that comes to you in turn
Now you might face the day
now you might face the way you are

Ah, ah
Now be on your way
Ah, ah, ah
Now be on your way
Ah, oh
