Dave's Not Here

I like to believe that Dave Carter has better things to think about where he is now, but for those of us he left behind, it's still his birthday. Here's hoping for many perseid meteor birthday candles.



Gentle Soldier Of My Soul
© 1999 Dave Carter / Dave Carter Music (BMI)

hey-yah
my love has gone all upon the crimson trail
his drum at dawn beating brimstone through the veil
clear light through smoke and ash
and balmy seas, where breakers crash and roll
gentle soldier of my soul

hey-yah
he lays me down in his garden growin bed
he weaves a crown, twigs and feathers for my head
he sings the fields awake
and folds me in the love that makes me whole
gentle soldier of my soul

hey-yah
when i have passed through the forest of my trails
and stand at last where the shadows run for miles
we'll ride on ponies fine
with painted shields through fields of shining gold
gentle soldier of my soul

hey-yah
