Find a place that's safe and dry Make that your home. When you're hungry Find some food And eat it slowly. And it sounds like sage advice But no, it's not from me. It's from Richard Brautigan. Plant your poems in the garden And watch them grow. Show your little ones That you were once a little one. And it sounds like sage advice But no, it's not from me. It's from Richard Brautigan. And I don't rest easier. No, I don't rest easier Knowing you can write a story Just like I can write a song When the words we say out loud Turn out all wrong. And I don't rest easier. No, I don't rest easier Knowing you can write a story Just like I can write a song When the bones that carry us Will soon be gone.
