The Tourniquet Years
Justin Bailey

Grandpa was a healer

His medicine his words

He was only 5’5”

But what he lacked in size

He made up for with elephant eyes

The day that Grandpa died

Was the day I first opened my eyes

And now they turn to me

As the trunk of the tree

But I worry it just ain’t in me


So I’m sounding the well and I’m listening for bells

I’d believe if I knew what that means

I’m searching the gutters and removing shutters

I see through most everything


The tourniquet years

The finding of all I am able

The tourniquet years

The ocean is meant as a fable


It’s true I’ve loved some women


And lost them along the way

But I give what I take

And they do the same

I can’t say I feel any shame

I’ve walked from coast to coast

And I’ve learned how it hurts to boast

And just like my brother

I’d fight before smother

We’ll roll through the world just like thunder


So I’m sounding the well and I’m listening for bells

I’d believe if I knew what that means

I’m searching the gutters and removing shutters

I see through most everything


The tourniquet years

The finding of all I am able

The tourniquet years

The ocean is meant as a fable
