A precious pearl imprisoned within the arms of the sea
In dark murky waters, treasure waits unaccessible to me
A simple clue to understanding, and a settling of the seas
In dark murky rivers, I do wade, oh so silly me
I just must trust or this boat is gonna rust
I just must trust or this boat is gonna rust
Lessons scribbled on loose leafs all scattering from the tree
But the roots go down deep, somewhere that I can not see
There really was no teacher that sat down and taught this tree
But the rings of life inside his core, they just told him who to be
I just must trust or this boat is gonna rust
I just must trust or this boat is gonna rust
A child caught a tear of mine and turned it upside down
I had an ice cream cone, sticky sweet smeared away my frown
I caught a fear of mine in a rusty old trap and hung it in the room
I played for it accordion, inspiring a friendly tune
Attached to a welcome on on a cold slab lagoon
Tremoring wrists fair for the weather
Brains are balls on poles strung by a tether
Keeping us together is our torn spinal leather
Lace kept tempo is what are hearts are after
