This walk through life is harder than it used to be We're scorching weeds to keep them from growing The acid soil pulling up roots we locate To a garden bed that's fertile and free But watch what you're stepping on and who veils the light When there's always a reason or two and the snake's out at night But I turn towards the sun Fists on our knees and I beg your pardon Roam but never run Ditch old routines and the humble hiding Once they stood battered and bruised withheld below With witches broom it's time to fail The autumn wind blows with a sign of what's to come Rake those leaves and draw the blinds Oh you've always been what you're becoming And I can't bear to watch So I turn towards the sun Fists on our knees and I beg your pardon Roam but never run Ditch old routines and the humble hiding Babe if we were strolling through the memories We can't pollinate the good ones Somehow pull them back And set them up and watch them fall away Fall away So I turn towards the sun Fists on our knees and I beg your pardon Roam but never run Ditch old routines and the humble hiding Here without ever knowing you would lend a hand Sowing seeds of future So many plants we'll make We set them up Now watch them fall away Babe if we were strolling through the memories We can't pollinate the good ones Somehow pull them back And set them up and watch them fall away Fall away
