Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I gotta get home, there's a garden to tend
All the fruit's on the ground
The birds have all moved back into my attic
Whistled and static
Young learn to fly, I will patch up the holes once again
[Verse 2]
Well, I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
I thought it was sleepin', I guess it got fed up with not bein' fed
I would be too, I keep food in my belly
And hope that my time isn't soon
Isn't soon
[Verse 3]
So I try to understand what I can't hold in my hand
And whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you
And if you could try to find it, too
'Cause this place has overgrown, it's a waxin' moon
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
[Verse 4]
The back of my house, there's a trail that won't end
We went walkin' so far it grew back and now there's no trail at all
Only grass growin' taller
Get out my machete and battle with time once again
But I'm bound to lose, 'cause I'll be damned if time don't win
[Verse 5]
I gotta get home, there's a garden to tend
All the seeds from the fruit buried and began
Their own family trees, teach them thank you and please
Spread their own roots and then watch the young fruit grow again
And this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins
[Verse 6]
So I try to understand what I can't hold in my hand
And whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you
And if you could try to find it, too
'Cause this place has overgrown, it's a waxin' moon
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
[Verse 7]
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
Home is wherever we are if there's love here, too
