Everything's a seed

EVERYTHING’S A SEED (E G C G B E)


 Your eyes look like stars tonight. Just spinning in my head. Shooting through the sky.

If you told me one hundred times I still wouldn’t be sure. I still wouldn’t know why. It just doesn’t sound right.

 

No one knows which way to turn. Some people say they do. Some people do they say. Do people so they may.

But only on Tuesdays.

 

No one does a selfless deed. Everything returns. Everything’s a seed.

So if you’re holding up the sun and you says it’s getting hot but you’re saving everyone.

You’re not saving anyone.

And it was

AND IT WAS (D A D G G E)


And it was a beautiful morning. Opening everything everywhere.

And it was something to laugh at because we laugh when we’re happy.

Did you hear your name? Did it sound strange? Did you ask did you ask the clouds? Were you surprised when the sun came out?

And it was a beautiful morning.

Everything every time stands still. Watching the grass turn green on the hill.

And it was a beautiful morning. And it was a beautiful morning.

Boulders in the river

BOULDERS IN THE RIVER (D A D G G E, capo 3)

Your hands are clean. But your mouth is full. I don’t believe in going back to school.

Your eyes are dry but your cheeks are wet. I won’t forget that boulders in the river won’t stay forever.

The grass is green and it stands up straight. They’re always late but never in a hurry.

And suddenly it’s funny because I am never late but I’m always in a hurry. Maybe I should worry less. I wish I could worry less.

Because boulders in the river won’t stay forever.

 

Don’t follow the fish, follow the water. Don’t follow the bird, follow the wind. Don’t follow the stone, you won’t get far. Follow the path.
Boulders in the river won’t stay forever.

You don't have to believe in it

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN IT (E A D G B E)

You don’t have to believe in it but it won’t work if you don’t. You don’t have to go home with it but if you don’t you’ll be alone.

Hold on for life until you realise you’ve been holding the wrong thing all along. And when sky finally looks in your eyes you’ll be shook and surprised. It’s how you know it’s the right time to go.

 

You don’t have to hold onto it. Is it doing you good? You don’t have to make love to it.

I’ll be gone at the top of the morn. Don’t mean everyone else needs to leave. I saw people making ways for the hills but I’d rather be still just floating on the deep blue sea.

 

You don’t have to believe in it. I felt the wind and I followed it. The path was dark but the sky was lit. She cried: This is it!

Sometimes it feels like losing

SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE LOSING (E A D G B E)

Let it all happen to me. Leave me where you find me. Sometimes it feels like losing.

Wave break slowly. Wind blow gently. Bird sing softly.

 

Stop me if you need me. Push me when you need to. Don’t let me tell you not to.

Let wave break on me. Let wind blow me down. Let bird sing song. Bring tear to eye.

 

Early and cool. Late and hot. Sometimes it’s so late it gets cool again.

Sometimes you wake up and you don’t know where you are. Sometimes you know exactly what to do.

 

Sometimes I don’t ask for anything. Sometimes I ask for everything. Sometimes it all just happens.

So leave me where you find me. Sometimes it feels like losing. Leave me where you find me. Let it all happen to me.

I am no longer and what I will be tomorrow I do not know

I AM NO LONGER AND WHAT I WILL BE TOMORROW I DO NOT KNOW (E A D G B E, capo 2)


I am no longer and what I will be tomorrow I do not know.

It is the same with me as it is with you.

So let’s return. Why not? Let’s go where you’ve always wanted to.

Like a slug in the bath on a rainy night. Where did he come from? Where will he go?

Like ducks on the water. Like cockatoos in the trees. The wind blows but our hearts are still.

I am no longer and what I will be tomorrow I do not know.

Waiting for my boy to come back to me

WAITING FOR MY BOY TO COME BACK TO ME (E A D G B E, capo 1) When will my boy come back to me? I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to sleep. ...
