Watch
It's not time
Tomorrow we'll take the boat out
Fill it full of fish
Haul in bags of potatoes
From the grocer on the roadside
With the crooked teeth
And the good potatoes
I can't speak ill of the saints
Or criticise their handwriting
Some notions never come undone
Some races are never won
The hummingbird hums
The bees buzz
And time does what it does
Ask Ariel Durant or Helmut Thielecke
Ask them exactly what it means to me
Theology, history, intimacy
Rations and respect
Hard work, stern words and kindness
And kindness
Walk the line stagger one last time
Across the road arm in arm
With that gentle Japanese girl
Your bravery, your beauty
And all the things you mean to me
All that you mean
It's not time
Tomorrow we'll take the boat out
Fill it full of fish
Haul in bags of potatoes
From the grocer on the roadside
With the crooked teeth
And the good potatoes
Don't walk, drive slow, keep both eyes on the road
Don't walk, drive slow, keep both eyes on the road
Don't walk, drive slow, keep both eyes on the road
Don't blink - read the letters in the eye chart
Don't blink - see the scrawl on the kitchen wall
Don't blink- don't eat the pie in the pie chart
Repeat and hand to me a bag of cheap
Unworn Chinese watches
Each of them unwinding
And crying
It's not time yet
Tomorrow we'll take the boat out
Fill it full of fish
Haul in bags of potatoes
From the grocer on the roadside
With the crooked teeth
And the good potatoes
I can't speak ill of the saints
Or criticise their handwriting
Some notions never come undone
Some races are never won
The hummingbird hums
The bees buzz
And time does what it does
Ask Ariel Durant or Helmut Thielecke
Ask them exactly what it means to me
Theology, history, intimacy
Rations and respect
Hard work, stern words and kindness
And kindness
Walk the line stagger one last time
Across the road arm in arm
With that gentle Japanese girl
Your bravery, your beauty
And all the things you mean to me
All that you mean
It's not time
Tomorrow we'll take the boat out
Fill it full of fish
Haul in bags of potatoes
From the grocer on the roadside
With the crooked teeth
And the good potatoes
Don't walk, drive slow, keep both eyes on the road
Don't walk, drive slow, keep both eyes on the road
Don't walk, drive slow, keep both eyes on the road
Don't blink - read the letters in the eye chart
Don't blink - see the scrawl on the kitchen wall
Don't blink- don't eat the pie in the pie chart
Repeat and hand to me a bag of cheap
Unworn Chinese watches
Each of them unwinding
And crying
It's not time yet
