Untitled (Garden Growing)

from Timekeeper Blues by Holy Shadow

lyrics

So many things to do when I woke up today that I went back to bed. And so many things I still want to change but I got high instead.

And I was born in a hospital but I was baptized by the sea
And I have seen the things that are destroying you
And I'm gonna try not to let them destroy me.

Chorus:
Because I once was broken but now I am whole
And the universe, well, it's forgiven me for all those things I stole
And there's a garden growing when all of my blessings get old.

The wild is my religion and this garden is my practice
So many things I have yet to learn and so many things I have yet to give.
But they'll still find my cell phone snapped into two pieces too late Sitting softly in the sand at the bottom of my beloved Long Lake.

(chorus)

And there's this girl I love, she knows what I've done but she lets me sleep in her bed.
She gives me the peace I could never find in any of those books I read.
And I could walk backwards from Jerusalem and still not know where I've been
Or go back to the time before I lost my mind and realized I'm okay with it.

(chorus)
