based on the retelling and Michael Hague's illustrations of a Micmac legend in William J. Bennet's Children's book of Virtues
lyrics
there's a picture in my mind
of an unbalanced sight
of you holding on to tea trays in both hands
and your head is tilted to the side
but i doubt that you were trying to hide
the smudge of ash on your right cheek
'cause there s still this sense of pride about you
like you've almost made it safely across the room
or maybe it's just truly humility that's looking back at me through your eyes
and i heard it said when i was a kid that the aspens shake in fear of you
for you're the one who told the wind now truly i don't see you
and there's a picture in my mind
of you smiling at the night
head tilted back in awe at the stars
and the wonder's written in your gaze
it's enough to erase the ashes from your face
and i swear i saw your hair grow right there in front of my eyes
