What is sacred about all of our lives, even those of us who would never dream of using such a word for it, is that God speaks to us through what happens to us - even through such unpromising events as walking up the road to get the mail out of the mailbox, maybe, or seeing something in the news that brings you up short, or laughing yourself silly with a friend. If skeptics ask to be shown an instance of God speaking to them in their lives, I suggest that they pay closer attention to the next time when, for unaccountable reasons, they find tears in their eyes.
-- Frederick Buechner

NATURAL

Like a pilot taking pictures of the sky
Hoping he might show us how it feels to fly
I once thought that I might fit us in a song
and share a little of how it feels
to be in love with you so long

It's just natural
Like grass in love with dew
Like roots fit the ground and silence fits sound
We fit so fine, we two
Love as vast as all the starlight, and romantic as the moon
it’s just natural
to be in love with you

All the poetry, and paint, and prose, and song
That’s been penned, and brushed, and bound, and sung so long
Only hinted at the simple and the sweet
Of how naturally you’d fall in love with me

It’s just natural
Like wings in love with sky
Like April needs rain and fancy needs plain
and gives no reason why
It’s as obvious as a flower, and as comfortable as tea
It’s just natural
the way that you love me

Bridge:
It’s as common as an ordinary day
And as precious as each morning, the same way
As familiar as the way the seasons change
And as constant as the music in your name

It’s just natural
A clock would love the time
That a book would love eyes, and lips adore sighs
and your hands would love mine
Love as wild as any storm front, and as tender as a tear
It’s just natural
that love would last for years

It’s natural we’d find each other here.

ONE GOOD REASON

The 9 songs on One Good Reason were recorded in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1992 when I was playing more often around town than I do today. I made the recording a simple acoustic effort so that when someone picked up a copy at a local club, the recording he or she would hear in the car or at home would be the same simple guitar and vocal already heard live, versus a full band mix of some kind.

Meanwhile, consider it a museum piece from the early web). :)
