lyrics

I
Lost my smile
But I don’t worry
‘Cause the dandelion
Has it

How can I remember
To smile in the morning
In the face of so much
Suffering and pain

How can I really truly
Love another deeply
When I feel I can barely
Love myself

I
Lost my smile
But I don’t worry
‘Cause the dandelion
Has it

I need a reminder
Of all
That came before
And all that has come since

I need a reminder
To remember
That my reminder
Is all that exists

I
Lost my smile
But I don’t worry
‘Cause the dandelion
Has it

I see water on the window
I see paintings on the pavement
I hear birds bellowing
Among the ancient trees

I try to banish all my worry
My fatigue and my fury
No I don’t wanna hurry
Through my life

I
Lost my smile
But I don’t worry
‘Cause the dandelion
Has it

about

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
