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
