Annuals

I used to drive a lot Thought I had vision beyond I am older now I am older now And I watch my dreams turn To fit in your house But I am distractible still (How to make you see reason?) You gotta sow me each season Summer comes around and the town thins out Autumn comes around and the work dries up Winter comes and the apples fall Spring hardly comes at all You gotta sow me each season I will not come back on my own With patience You might see the pitch drop Or with great focus Dandelion through the blacktop Or you might leave my orbit To visit any other moon Don't be gone too long; don't come back too soon I gotta sow you each season Wooly bear on the porch in the morning Leopard moth on the sill at night The Rappahannock is a river in Virginia And the ocean is where rivers go to die You gotta sow me each season I will not come back on my own
