lyrics

Oh threats of Hell and hopes of Paradise
One thing is certain - this life flies
One thing is certain and the rest is lies
The flower once is bloomed forever dies

Yesterday this day madness did prepare
Tomorrow’s silence, triumph, or despair
Drink for you know not whence you came nor why
Drink for you know not why you go nor where

Come fill the cup and in the fire of Spring
The winter garment of repentance fling
The bird of time has but a little way
To fly and lo, the bird is on the wing

There was a door to which I found no key
There was a veil through which I might not see
Some little talk awhile of me and thee
There was and then no more of thee and me

Ah make the most of what we yet may spend
Before we too into dust descend
Dust into dust and under dust to lie
Sans wine, sans song, sans singer, sans end

Come fill the cup and in the fire of Spring
The winter garment of repentance fling
The bird of time has but a little way
To fly and lo, the bird is on the wing

Ah make the most of what we yet may spend
Before we too into dust descend
Dust into dust and under dust to lie
Sans wine, sans song, sans singer, sans end

about

The Goat Family image

The Goat Family San Francisco, California

With harmonies storming in from the West and rhythms shaking loose from the American songbook, this band packs folk, country, banda, and blues into a wobbly wagon on a cross-country trip bound for butt-shaking happiness.
