When everybody's gone And nobody's breathing What's the color "nothing" What's the sound of "no" On my lawn Critters crawl and make they're way through dirt they scare me Something's wrong Not too long Not too long ago I hated crickets, spiders Ants on logs Hated bees Hated worms I hated things that slid and hopped and slithered Lizards, frogs Troubled times Troubled mind you were my anchor in this big sea Every time Heard a song Heard it drivin' on my way to Minnesota Sang along Made me cry Made me think about my life when you were in it Lullaby Once I had a thought Made me so upset Asked my mother things about existence and d**h That's one concern too big Told me not to worry, "you've got so much time to live" Held me very long Told me "child, be strong."
