Acorn

from The Early Days by TENTS

/

lyrics

spinning down the circuits
diving in to old wives' tales
shaking off the dullness
shaking off the noise that kills

But when the train rolls to a stop
will my vigor rust?
will my memory deceive me
when the steady rhythm leaves me

or will I like the acorn
falling from the tree
gathered up with purpose
joyfully for need

running from the circus
hiding 'neath the canopy
a ritual observance
hoping it will bring me peace

but when the images I see
slowly bend and leave
when I return from dreaming
will starlings steal my seedlings?

Or will I like the tortoise
moving through the sea
fearlessly in service
or quietly for need

Or will I like the acorn
falling from the tree
gathered up with purpose
joyfully for need

Or will I like the tortoise
moving through the sea
fearlessly in service
or quietly for need
