lyrics

Orchard Song: The Voice of Reason?

Your list is never ending
Ten dozen projects pending
Not a one gets justice done

Your head so full of feelings
Old trucks that you might fuel with
Vegetables and stubborn will.

Well You dreamers aught to wake up every now and again
Call the scrap yard and admit that that old Engine is dead.
Dreamers aught to wake up now and again.

You procrastinate when
You’ve got papers due and
You just sing and bide your time

What will you amount to?
Your orchard never bore fruit
Wild. Neglected. Overgrown

All you dreamers aught to wake up every now and again
Quit interpreting the clouds. You’ve got a garden to tend (old fences to mend)
Dreamers aught to wake up now and again.


Keep this up and what will you
Have to show when your check comes due
Poetry don’t pay the bills. Don’t…

Delude yourself with grandeur
Your scruples’ll only last ‘til
You’ve a few more winters lived.

Dreamers aught to wake up every now and again
This here worlds got enough clowns, trying not to fit in
Dreamers aught to wake up now and again.
All your wasted time. Your wasted mind. such sin.
