I collect jars To put things in And leave them under my bed I collect plants From on the road Dry them up And keep them in jars You collect cars To fix them up Piece them together You collect beads From round the world Make beautiful things To make your friends feel better You collect bones Of animals Found on the ground Or in the river Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin You collect wings Of fallen birds Reminds you of flying And makes you feel better You collect books That smell of mold Leaf through the pages Go to the shelf On a quiet day And turn to any page To make yourself feel better You collect names Of everyone You can lay your eyes on And when you see them You call them by name It makes them feel better I collect songs From everywhere Keep them on my mind There is a song for everything I sing them to myself To make me feel better
