Theme ID: 5121
Album: N/A


Clearing webs from the hovel

A blistered hand on the handle of a shovel

Ive been digging too deep

I always do

I see my face on the surface

I look a lot like narcissus

A dark abyss of an emptiness

Standing on the edge of a drowning blue



I look behind my ears for the green

And even my sweat smells clean

Glare off the white hurts my eyes

I gotta get out of bed

Get a hammer and a nail

Learn how to use my hands

Not just my head

I think myself in a jail

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand

And a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth

If you want a rose



I had a lot of good intentions

Sit around for fifty years

And then collect a pension

Started seeing the road to hell

And just where it starts

But my life is more than a vision

The sweetest part is acting

After making a decision

Started seeing the whole

As a sum of its parts



And I look behind my ears for the green

And even my sweat smells clean

Glare off the white hurts my eyes

Gotta get out of bed

Get a hammer and a nail

Learn how to use my hands

Not just my head

I think myself in a jail

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand

And a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth

If you want a rose



My life is part of the global life

Id found myself becoming more immobile

When Id think a little girl in the world

Cant do anything

A distant nation my community

And a street person my responsibility

If I have a care in the world

I have a gift to bring



I look behind my ears for the green

Even my sweat smells clean

Glare off the white hurts my eyes

I gotta get out of bed

Get a hammer and a nail

Learn how to use my hands

Not just my head

I think myself in a jail

Now I know a refuge never grows

From a chin in a hand

And a thoughtful pose

Gotta tend the earth

If you want a rose
