The Story of the Tucks

Once upon a time Once upon a time Can I start like that? Shouldn't start like that Be patient with me Winnie I've never told this before Once there was a man A man with a wife And a family That's Miles and me Jesse, let me tell the story I don't wanna start a war We tore from the west to settle in the east Looking for a farm or some land at least Get to the part where I fall from the tree No, you've got it all wrong Miles, Jesse Then we found a wood Yes, we found a wood Can you guess which wood Mine? You're good Where we found ourselves a clearing And camped for the night Just the four of us Plus the cat and the horse They play a crucial part Yes, Miles of course We slept by a spring near an old ash tree And thats where I carved a T Jesse! In the morning In the morning Miles, Jesse, May: We had no way of knowing Without even thinking we drank from the spring Who knew that spring would change everything Except for the horse Everybody drank Even the cat Remember that? You can lead a horse to water I think she knows the phrase So days went by Then months Then years With an ordinary life So it appears The old horse died at 25 But the cat was still alive We weren't changing . Jesse: . We weren't changing . May: Miles: We weren't changing We weren't growing . Jesse: . We weren't growing All three: We had no way of knowing Nobody was thinking It's because of the spring Who knew that spring would change everything The town began to talk Jesse: People shyed away Winnie look at me They were so outraged we hadn't aged Winnie listen here though Our lives in pious Jesse: Our looks perverse I survived a tree fall He survived much worse Shut up Jesse May: Jesse: Still we didn't know Yes of course we knew Didn't know the spring How could we not know though Was the cause of it Or where we'd sit on the delacite balance Jesse: Between a blessing and a curse The greatest family In the universe Don't confuse the girl All three: The cat and the horse The T on the tree The drink that changed us eternally That's our secret keep it locked up tight But I still don't understand Enough Alright We're not aging We're not growing And none of us know why Once upon a time we drank from your spring And now we'll never die And that's the story of the Tucks The end
