Now Be Thankful - Richard Thompson

When the stone is grown too cold to kneel\nIn crystal waters I’ll be bound\nCold as stone, weary to the sounds upon the wheel\nNow be thankful for good things below\nNow be thankful to your maker\nFor the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know\nWhen the fire is grown too fierce to breathe\nIn burning embers I’ll be bound\nFierce as fire, weary to the sounds upon the wheel\nNow be thankful for good things below\nNow be thankful to your maker\nFor the rose, the red rose blooms for all to know
