"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Darrell Scott, "The Open Door"

Well, it's "fare thee well", my true love
The song is in the air
I hear the West calling
See what's for me there

With the sun I'm leavin'
I'll be Montana bound
Ain't no use in grievin'
I'll show you what I've found

Yeah, some folks have it easy
At least that's how it seems
Reach up and pick an apple
Reach up and find a dream

Some travel in the darkness
And rest upon the shade
Some wrestle with their demons
And face them unafraid

We argue for our better selves
We only ask for more
We take the mirror from the shelf
And find the open door

I love you with a fever
I love you with a past
My heart is a keeper
As long as it will last

As long as it will last
I'll tell you what I know
We walk this road together
And we walk this road alone
