Plant Life

I saw a ghost on the stairs
Sheets on the tables and chairs
Silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
Even so I don't know what to think.

I've been hoping for
Daisies to push through the floor
I want life to grow all around me
So I don't feel sad anymore.

I'd rather waltz then walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo as they sway in time
A quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I play your heartstrings, will you strum on mine?

I saw a bear in the den
He stayed right there where he'd been
Asleep like a rug you would make from his skin
Out I crept through the trees he lived in.

I've been hoping for
Daisies to push through the floor
I want life to grow all around me
So I don't feel sad anymore.

I'd rather waltz then walk through the forest
The brook babbles on about nothing at all
A quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall.

I've been hoping for
I've been hoping for
I want life to grow all around me
So I don't feel sad anymore.

I'd rather waltz then walk through the forest
The brook babbles on about nothing at all
A quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall.
