    Lyrics

    Tune up the strings, rosin the bow
    It'll sing if you touch it just right
    And you can almost feel In the kerosene glow
    Our ancestors dancing with us tonight

    Dust off the old tunes, there's life in 'em still
    Sun-kissed, new grist for the old mill

    Plant in the spring, gather in fall
    Cellars full of jars and brown-bagged seeds
    This land's got food and work for us all
    If you like flowers, gotta pull some weeds

    Dust off the old ways, there's life in 'em still
    Sun-kissed, new grist for the old mill
    Bluebird days, wood for the stove
    Your company and all that time makes
    Summer dancing all the sweeter
    Hearing creek music and drinking sunshine

    Dust off your old boots, there's life in 'em still
    Sun-kissed, new grist for the old mill

    The old struggle, again begun
    Learning to sing our healing songs
    Learning that we are the very ones
    We've been waiting for all along

    Dust off your old dreams, there's life in 'em still
    Sun-kissed, new grist for the old mill

    Scott Cook
