lyrics

Under the shade of a hundred foot wide
Evergreen blanket of leaves
Pavarotti echoes the loons
riding the summer breeze

We are one, if our lips ever touch
over the water
We are reflected forever,
a secret at the bottom of the sea

Under the shade of a hundred foot wide
Evergreen blanket of leaves
I realize the shackles are just a dream

Getting older and older
For wisdom and fortune and counting everything I see
Getting older and older
A moment is my reason to be

Wider and wider the redwood stretches
As I look farther away
I see the fossils frozen in my head
I see wisdom in the mud
It’s drying on the edge of memory

I pack up my bags, I raise my hands,
and I pray to Pavarotti
Give me patience, I’m Jambalaya, overdone,
And I don’t what made me feel so heavy

Getting older and older
For wisdom and fortune and counting everything I see
Getting older and older
A moment is my reason to be

Under the shade of a hundred foot wide
Evergreen blanket of leaves
I realize we need shackles in order to be free

Getting older and older
For wisdom and fortune and counting everything I see
Getting older and older
A moment is my reason to be
