lyrics

The beauty of the future is no one knows what going to happen next
The beauty of you is I don't know you yet
The thought of you being late to work keeps me from keeling over
I'm making plans as though they matter
Wasting time until I know you

Time fills the sails on the sea
Wave your country's colors in your sleep in your dreams
Take all the time that you need
I'll be in the garden planting seed after seed after seed

The only time you'll love me truly is when you're angry as a blue jay
But we both know one day even that will fade
But tonight tonight I'm in the battle lines
Feels so much like when I was younger just waiting for a sign

Time fills the sails on the sea
Wave your country's colors in your sleep in your dreams
Take all the time that you need
I'll be in the garden planting seed after seed after seed

We all belong to the forest
Those who came long before us
Hold my hand as we are carried by the river current
Wish I believed that the trees
Were ghosts with secrets to keep
When I'm gone you can just look up to the leaves
Feel me in the breeze

Time fills the sails on the sea
Wave your country's colors in your sleep in your dreams
Take all the time that you need
I'll be in the garden planting seed after seed after seed
