lyrics

Well I'm not gonna play the harmonica
There will be no pedal steel on this song
I will live alone, I'll live on this pond
I'll sing this song out and I'll steal what he sung

I will listen close for the wind chimes
It's my picture now, I see it every day
You took the rest but you forgot the best one
I hope that last line rhymes in some way

I throw my bottle in the back yard river
I hope the water understands my love for it
I'll play the flute but I will not on this song
I hope my daughter understands when the time comes
I throw the pillow and the blanket follows
I pray for rain, I pray for rain, I pray for rain
I'm cutting now into my left arm wristwatch
'Cause my arm is fragile, and I don't want to bleed
Take from the inside what you lack in progress
I'll bake a cake so you can hold your candle
I will press play but I will not play this song
I need an army that can hold my hand all day
