lyrics

The tall grass comes back with a vengeance
I watch, I learn its resilience
To slow down, practice my patience
Make listening a pressing engagement

Same djinn still sit on my shoulder
They chime in and in ever emboldened
To remind me I can try and I will wander away
But with me they'll stay

Don't take offense that I don't
Have time to spend for I have
So many miles left of my mind
To mine for gold

Out here I run in a perfect square now
I think I'm finding my alignment
But when you call I can't remember at all how
To summon the will I thought I'd found

If it's any kind of consolation
I can see every star at night
Yeah, I'm reading all the constellations
Like a self-help book on being alright

Don't take offense that I don't
Have time to spend for I have
So many miles left of my mind
To mine for gold
To mine for gold

I don't know how long I need to be alone
To feel as though I'm carrying a manageable load
The hardest part was leaving home
Now I'm gone I'd like to go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go
And go and go and go and go and go and go and go
And go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go
And go and go and go and go and go and go and go
And go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go and go
