lyrics

This tender seed has gone to sleep
Under earth, among weeds

Rain will fall, sun will shine
Await your time
To spring forth, to bring light

When it rains so hard
You run out in the yard
Rivulets soak into deep soil
Steeping love into the jungle of your toil

Paint the years with watercolours
Borrow time from one another
Weave a ladder to the clouds
Hang a lantern from this shroud
Bring a candle to the table
Plant a garden when you're able
Take a rest and prune your plums
You bring the best out of the earth and sun

We only see flowers bright, leaves of green
We can't know what lies beneath

Roots cut away, heartwood on display
Bearing fruit to this day

Take your tools from the shed
Turn over a new bed
Decompose, plant a rose
Find rebirth
Push your fingers deep into the earth

Paint the years with watercolours
Borrow time from one another
Weave a ladder to the clouds
Hang a lantern from this shroud
Bring a candle to the table
Plant a garden when you're able
Take a rest and prune your plums
You bring the best out of the earth and sun
