Further In - Greg Brown

Further in, grandmother;

grandfather, hold my hand

As I go on through this life and try to understand

The beauty of your faces I will never see again

But I know you’re with me now leading me further in

Further in, you friends of mine, they led me further in

I know I’ve hurt you many times and I’ve helped you and I will again

You to me and me to you, and us to all of them

The circle that will ever grow as we go further in

Further in, O my love, take me further in

Past the place where love hides its face and down to where we begin

So deep in this mystery, my tears on yours depend

And they like some wild river flow as we go further in
