lyrics

O Lord what did I do to turn you?
Have you not heard my clamor?
I've bent up little and big hands
into a prayer with my hammer.

It's been years and not one raindrop
upon my land.
All these years and not one spit take
upon my land.

Now I know,
I know,
time can mean nothing.
Now I'll hold,
I'll hold
time down in my dreams.

My Lord, can't those clouds burst open,
must they hang there and idle?
I've lent, gave up all my perfecting timing,
For what? Yes for what?
I(t) can count it on my hands.

All these years and still no rain drop
upon my hands.
The strangest years and not one rain drop
on this ageless man.

Now I know (I know),
I know
time can mean nothing,
and just one (just one)
spit take,
in a day, could change everything...

In a day
spent in the garden,
planting rolex,
doing yard work,
sensory parts agape
and sucking in.

One spit take,
toes in the pedals,
counting moisture,
solving riddles,
lab results stuffed
in some wet Italian boot.

In a day
cross over mud path,
throwing shovels,
doing straight math,
sucking down the roots,
wind blowing trees
on a mute TV screen:

time
time
time and
time in
time.

Now I know ( I know),
I know
time can mean nothing.
Now I know (sha-la-la-la-la....)
I know
in a day virtually nothing.
