about

Recorded in Brian and Sheralyn Barnes' Living Room in St. Paul, MN.

This is a song written many moons ago, before The Rough & Tumble knew they were in love, and before they had the wherewithal to console one another in anything but song.

This is a lullaby written partially for a baby that was never born in a marriage that also didn't survived, and simultaneously written for a couple of dear friends who's own baby did come to stay in a marriage that is alive and well and full against a couple odds. This is a lullaby that assures that all is as it should be and as it shouldn't be.

lyrics

"You Are The Age"
Written by Mallory Graham and Scott Tyler
Copyright 2016 Penny Jar Publishing (SESAC)

You are the age that I thought you'd be,
As young as my hands and as old as my feet.
You are so small I can't see you at all,
As young as I am and as old as I used to be.

The moon is made of same as you--
And the mouse in my bed,
She/he/they will eat you right out of my head.

I put you into the kitchen drawer,
Close to the sink and far from the door.
In one year's time you opened just fine,
But you had to go, you couldn't live here no more.
