about

When my sister Marsha was asked to read her wonderful (and very funny) story at a Joshua Tree event, she asked me to write a song to go with it. So, here is the song about how an old couch led her to Joshua Tree.

lyrics

Here's a story that I’ll tell you
Well it may not be believed
But it's time for for it to surface
‘Cause the facts have been retrieved

Nothing fancy nothing long
Just the scoop I must relay
If I don’t the world won’t crumble
But the truth would will be delayed

So here it is in full
Nothing hidden or removed
It’s the story of a couch God used
My sister’s soul to soothe

It’s an unlikely story of a couch
That went too far
And it led her in a circle
To the Tree of Joshua
It led her in a circle to the Tree of Joshua
It starts with a couch that went too far

Roy called Marsha
Marsha called Hank
There was a shower and a UPS delivery tank

Paul was agreeable
The realtor complied
And the next thing you know
Aunt Rose’s couch was on a ride

Now Marsha’s happy as can be
She followed guidance to a T
She found a cabin for an ancient couch
In Joshua Tree

It’s an unlikely story of a couch
That went too far
And it led her in a circle
To the Tree of Joshua
It led her in a circle to the tree of Joshua
It starts with a couch that went too far

And in the wee hours of night when the moon shines free
You can hear my sister humming so peacefully,
“Some may go to Mecca some to Galilee
But Aunt Rose’s couch took me to Joshua Tree”

It started with a couch
I thought it went too far
But that couch revealed the pathway
To the Tree of Joshua
