The Little I've Seen

from Lie in the Leaves by Nature & Madness

/

lyrics

peculiar reminiscence
finds me walking in mesquite
legs caught up in the branches
riding low to keep my head underneath
because i'm always on the move here
i can't let my heart settle down
just like the water in this slow moving stream
always alive and it makes a constant sound

in the little i've seen
this world is full of changes
and the grass never stays the same shade of green
in the little i've seen
death is on the horizon
but the turning of the pages
like colors on trees
lead us back to the spring quietly

picking greens for the harvest
fill the basket to the top
a prayer of thanks for what we're given
a prayer of thanks for what we're not
cause this whole thing is just a gamble
the chips may fall in different hands
and we're all part of the same body
and that part is the hardest to understand

and if you really got to know me
i'm more than half-hearted grins
sometimes i'm on my best behavior
sometimes i am drowning again
i'm only alive when i'm breathing
and i'm breathing most of the time
and when i go out in explosion
if you look bits of me you will find

in the little i've seen
this world is full of changes
and the grass never stays the same shade of green
in the little i've seen
death is on the horizon
but the turning of the pages
like colors on trees
lead us back to the spring quietly
