Meditation of the Day: Two Step

Dave Matthews is an artist that has grown on me over the years since those early days when our kids introduced us to his music.  As I come back to his music time after time, as I ponder things more, each song reveals more to me than it did before.  "Two Step" is a good example.

I won't try to comment.  Listen to a spectacular acoustic version of the song with Tim Reynolds, here.  Consider the lyrics:

"Two Step"

Hey, my love, I came to you with

best intentions

You laid down and gave to me just

what I'm seeking

Love, you drive me to distraction

Hey my love do you believe that we

might last a thousand years

Or more if not for this,

our flesh and blood

It ties you and me right up

Tie me down

Celebrate we will

Because life is short but sweet for 

certain

We're climbing two by two

To be sure these days continue

These things we cannot change

Hey, my love, you came to me like

wine comes to this mouth

Grown tired of water all the time 

You quench my heart and you 

quench my mind

Celebrate we will

Because life is short but

sweet for certain

We''re climbing two by two 

To be sure these days continue

The things we cannot

Celebrate, you and me, climbing

two by two, to be sure

these days continue, these things we

cannot change

Oh , my love I came to you 

with best intentions

You laid down down and gave to me

just what I'm seeking

Celebrate we will

Because life is short 

But sweet for certain

We're climbing two by two

to be sure these days continue

Things we cannot change...

Things we cannot change
