Lean In

Sow the seeds of your heart In the soil of the earth and don't stray far Give them light and water and a blessing And don't forget to sing, sing And don't forget to sing, sing And the late April wind blows Through my lonely late night window again And the pollen from walnut tree Blows through the air like static on a TV screen Blows through the air like static on a TV screen Sometimes I forget that the seasons will change That this springtime fever will Will turn into a haze of a slow, slow summer Lean in to the heat In a town where the creeks are lazy And the salmon swim upstream Outside my door I hear a woman singing On my back porch it's magic she's weaving; With a voice that matches the saints of all time And a way of movin' that cannot be confined She's got a way of movin' that cannot be confined And walkin' along that dusty path She takes a detour through the tall grass Watchin' emotions flow in to the next And reminding us we are so blessed And reminding us we are so blessed Sometimes she forgets that the seasons will change That this springtime fever will Will turn into a haze of a slow, slow summer Lean in to the heat In a town where the creeks are lazy And the salmon swim upstream Outside her house there's a sycamore tree That's gnarled and twisted and tied up in three Places where she cracked the night before Ready for life to fall and be reborn Let life fall and be reborn Let life fall and be reborn Sometimes she forgets that the seasons will change That this springtime fever will Will turn into a haze of a slow, slow summer Lean in to the heat In a town where the creeks are lazy And the salmon swim upstream And the late April wind blows again Through my lonely window she invites herself in Unannounced and unseen And the pollen jumps about Like static on a TV screen And the pollen jumps about Like static on a TV screen And the pollen jumps about Like static on a TV screen And the pollen jumps about Like static on a TV screen
