The Honor Of Your Company
When I find myself with a song to write
I remember candles in the night
Voices raised in ragged harmony
Singing this land was made for you and me
Some of those voices are silent now and gone
I'm glad to see how you've been keeping on
I remember the songs that pulled us through
And when I hear those songs, I think of you
(Cho:)
So, thank you for the honor of your company
The music was as sweet as the good red wine
Thanks for the company
And thanks for the harmony
I'm here to say the honor was all mine
Back when times were tough and the news was bad
Faith and a couple of songs was all we had
Songs we rearranged and made our own
Songs it sometimes seemed we'd always known
We've been together now for a long long time
And if ever I was the poet, you were the rhyme
It was always the music that kept us strong
And, if ever I was the singer, you were the song
(Cho:)
Decade after decade, year by hear
Season after season, we're still here
And it does not take a crystal ball to know
We're gonna go out singing when we go
A five-string banjo and a steel string guitar
Just a couple of the reasons why we've come this far
Singing like we always have and will
Knowing the circle is unbroken still
(Cho:)
I remember candles in the night

So, thank you for the honor of your company

Just a couple of the reasons why we've come this far
Singing like we always have and will
Knowing the circle is unbroken still
