Find a place that's safe and dry
Make that your home
When you're hungry
Find some food
And eat it slowly
And it sounds like sage advice
But no, it's not from me
It's from Richard Brautigan
Plant your poems in the garden
And watch them grow
Show your little ones
That you were once a little one
And it sounds like sage advice
But no, it's not from me
It's from Richard Brautigan
And I don't rest easier
No, I don't rest easier
Knowing you can write a story
Just like I can write a song
When the words we say out loud
Turn out all wrong
And I don't rest easier
No, I don't rest easier
Knowing you can write a story
Just like I can write a song
When the bones that carry us
Will soon be gone
