Track Insight / Lyrics
I Kept The Lantern Burning Years
And Sealed Its Glass Against The Years
Ships Vanished, Still I Held My Post
I Counted Waves Along The Coast
I Packed My Raincoat, Tin, And Bread
And Followed Specks Up Maple Street
Up, Up, Where The Breadcrumb Waits
Hold It High Through Crooked Gates
One Small Step, Then One More
Brings Us To The Kitchen Floor
Carry On, Now Don't Lose Sight
Carry Home Into The Light
One Ant Shouldered Half The Crumb
And Marched As If The Hill Were Numb
I Walked Beside Its Narrow Track
My Boots Kept Creaking On The Back
At Noon The Sun Struck Copper Heat
And Made The Gravel Beneath My Feet
Up, Up, Where The Breadcrumb Waits
Hold It High Through Crooked Gates
One Small Step, Then One More
Brings Us To The Kitchen Floor
Carry On, Now Don't Lose Sight
Carry Home Into The Light
A Gust Sent Crumbs Beneath The Oar
I Caught One Fragment Washed On Shore
Ten Black Elbows Formed A Line
A Steady Column Down The Pine
They Hauled The Sugar Through The Dust
While I Lent All My Rusty Trust
Up, Up, Where The Breadcrumb Waits
Hold It High Through Crooked Gates
One Small Step, Then One More
Brings Us To The Kitchen Floor
Carry On, Now Don't Lose Sight
Carry Home Into The Light
By Dusk My Knees Had Learned The Grade
The Ants Still Kept Their Tiny Parade
One Slipped, So I Caught It On A Stone
I Turned It Homeward On Its Own
The Empty Hand At Last Fell Free
The Crumb Reached Warm Inside Of Me
Up, Up, Where The Breadcrumb Waits
Hold It High Through Crooked Gates
One Small Step, Then One More
Brings Us To The Kitchen Floor
Carry On, Now Don't Lose Sight
Carry Home Into The Light
