Squirreled

Words and Music - Gary Morrell

Appears on Blue Earth Moon

 

I heard a baby being born, you heard the wind in a storm 

I saw a meadow with its flowers, you saw the towers 

 

I’m trying, just to be 

You’re as one with the tv 

I’m going down to the cove 

Time to get out of the stove 

 

You know the forest from the trees, I mistake the birds and bees 

Some day all of this will be past, will not matter in the least 

We’re on the border of this world show us all the love you’ve squirreled 

Ash rains down like burnt tears a common language we all hear 

 

I’m trying hard just to be 

You’re as one with the tv 

I’m going down to the cove 

Time to get out of the stove 

 

I’m trying to understand your angle

You’re obsessed with your rectangle

I’m going down to the cove 

I’m going down to the cove 

Which one of you sees yourself 

Just the way you want them to see through your eyes 

Hopes and fears swirled into a trove 

Feeling squirreled at the cove 

Squirrelling along to the cove 

Up is down at the cove
