This is a bonus track from the album "Sleep Through The Static"
Listen to the song for timing and rhythm
- Intro -
- Part 1 -
I've gotta get home, there's a garden to tend. All the
fruits on the ground and the birds have all moved back...
...into my attic, whistling static, when the young learn to
fly I will patch all the holes once again
- Part 2 -
Well I can't believe that my lime tree is dead, I thought
it was sleeping I guess it got fed up with...
...not being fed, and I will be too, I'll keep food in my
belly, and hope that my time isn't soon
- Part 3 -
So I'll, try to understand, what I can't...
...hold, in my hand, and...
...whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you
- Part 4 -
And if you, try to find it too, 'cause this...
...place is overgrown, it's a waxing moon, and...
...home is wherever we are if there's love there too
- Part 5 -
In the back of my house there's a trail that won't end,
I went walking so far that it grew back in, now there's...
...no trail at all, only grass growing taller, I'll get
out my machete and battle with time once again
But I'm bound to lose, 'cause I'll be damned if time don't
win
- Part 6 -
I've gotta get home there's a garden to tend, all the
seeds from the fruit buried and again
Their own family trees teach them thank you and please as they,
spread their own roots, they watch the young fruit grow again
And this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins
- Part 7 -
So I'll, try to understand, what I can't...
...hold, in my hand, and...
...whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you
- Part 8 -
And if you, try to find it too, 'cause this...
...place is overgrown, it's a waxing moon, and...
...home is wherever we are if there's love there too
