lyrics
Today I woke to the rough touch
Of a cat's tongue;
The pinnacle of adoration.
The pinnacle of adoration.
But then I learned of the passing
Of an old friend;
A boy who lived through tragedy.
A man who left us prematurely.
The feline and I stood to watch
The wind pass through the leaves.
Electric grey clouds stole the skyline
From behind.
And for a while
The tree was me.
When...
...Lightning struck with sunlight in my eyes.
With pain and fear, it took me by surprise.
The future tense was stripped from all
The branches and the roots of old.
The present and the past;
They seemed to change.
What was once simpatico on hold,
I thought, until the time that we are old.
When acorns had become the oaks,
That would be the time we spoke
Of when we were young,
With so much to be done.
Looking back upon myself,
The electric shock, just moments gone.
I could see the branches that were
Yet to stretch so far...
...out in front and far behind
To bridge the old onto the new.
Reconnect and follow through.
That's the way we'll carry you.
That's the way we'll carry you.
Far.
Of a cat's tongue;
The pinnacle of adoration.
The pinnacle of adoration.
But then I learned of the passing
Of an old friend;
A boy who lived through tragedy.
A man who left us prematurely.
The feline and I stood to watch
The wind pass through the leaves.
Electric grey clouds stole the skyline
From behind.
And for a while
The tree was me.
When...
...Lightning struck with sunlight in my eyes.
With pain and fear, it took me by surprise.
The future tense was stripped from all
The branches and the roots of old.
The present and the past;
They seemed to change.
What was once simpatico on hold,
I thought, until the time that we are old.
When acorns had become the oaks,
That would be the time we spoke
Of when we were young,
With so much to be done.
Looking back upon myself,
The electric shock, just moments gone.
I could see the branches that were
Yet to stretch so far...
...out in front and far behind
To bridge the old onto the new.
Reconnect and follow through.
That's the way we'll carry you.
That's the way we'll carry you.
Far.
