Topiary

Waywardly we walk And we curse those fickle circles in the dark Seems like all we find On this spiral line Is a garden in the mind Tangled is the flesh Where it meets the solid concrete Darling we're sullen at best And you shed those kilos when Sixty soaking wet And I pretend not to see them While we're turning with the seasons Never seems enough time To put right and define But how long 'til I know Seed from stone Seed from stone Seed from stone Seed from stone Oh it's not a breeze Its a circle life but oh it's not a topiary Live while young they said Have I learnt that yet Or is it even worth teaching While we're staring at the ceiling Never seems enough time To put right and define But how long 'til I know Seed from stone Seed from stone Seed from stone Seed from stone Well the garden outgrew the state that we set With bodies like roots beneath while we slept The simplest truths are hard to accept So hold on Hold on I'm not made of stone That you know Here for a while And I'm gone I'm not made of stone That you know Here for a while And I'm gone
