Planting Time Lyrics

I lose track of minutes, I lose track of hours
Planting my spinach and cauliflower in my backyard
Not so long ago, I watched time spin around on my wrist
But now time goes all slow, as fast as the fish bite on my line
Wildflowers grow and I think they know
That their sons and daughters will appear here next to you once again
They'll be here next to you once again
I lose track of days, I lose track of weeks
Watering my potatoes and my leeks from the creek
I watch the birds swoop down and catch a fish
A worm as they wait for the eggs to hatch, to hatch
The redwoods grow so slow you'd never know
But their rings can tell us things we'd never know, never know
Oh yea rings can tell us things we'd never know
I lose track of months, I lose track of years
Harvesting my turnips and oiling my gardening shears

There's no time for love today
Too many things from ? in the way
But I could have sworn that this was worth more
In a sigh amidst the tornado
No more tears in my ears lying awake
No more fears, restless years of heartache
But I could have sworn that this was worth more
Than a moonrock planted on the moon
But there's no time for love tonight
One last hug and kiss goodnight
