Hi Everyone,

This latest release in our House Concert series starts with a quick back story about how Dave received his guitar strap from a family of crafts makers during a house concert he did in Arizona. Thing of Beauty is about the creative process and how it can sometimes be difficult.

Enjoy!

Edit,,


I'd like to make a sculpture out of glass
So beautiful, that it could make you cry
But when I look out at the snowflakes
That fall against my window
I cannot seem to bring myself to try
I just can't seem to bring myself to try

Chorus:

To make a thing of beauty
Just one thing of beauty
Only for an instant
With truth and with love
To make a thing of beauty
Just one thing of beauty
A single thing of beauty
And that would be enough

I'd like to weave a tapestry of yarn
So intricate, that it could break your heart
But when I look out at that web
As it's shining in the sunlight
I cannot seem to bring myself to start
I just can't seem to bring myself to start

(Repeat chorus)

I'd like to sing a song of breath and air
So wonderful, that it could touch your soul
But when I listen to robin
As he's heralding the springtime
I cannot take the first step towards my goal
I just can't take the first step towards my goal

Final Chorus:

But I can try to live a life
That makes an honest story
With challenges adventures
With truth and with love
And that would be a thing of beauty
A single thing of beauty
A human thing of beauty
And that would be enough
