The Sapling

Gonna lay down in the grass and watch that acorn

Split in two, slowly take root

While the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts

And my mind's out cruisin' silent coasts

Though the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes

Gonna stand my ground, watch the sapling rise

Just as long as I've the strength, well, I'll raise that flag

Another whisp of cloud from a mountain range

Now, this is awkward

I kept it bottled up too long

It's like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake

Leaving naught but circles in their wake

Though we barely comprehend what the question is

Only know for certain the answer's his

Now, this is awkward

Really don't know where to begin

I kept it bottled up too long

(I know that I feel it too, yeah)

Don't ask me where the time has gone

(I know that I feel it too, yeah)

'Least I can't tell no right from wrong

(I know that I feel it too, yeah)

I kept it bottle up too long

(Thought I'd feel it, thought I'd feel it)

Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it

(Like sunlight breaking through, yeah)

Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it

(I know that I feel it too)

Gonna lay down in the grass and watch that acorn

Split in two, slowly take root
