Karine Polwart - Take Its Own Time lyrics

You ceased to mow the lawn ten years ago You just wanted to see how your garden would grow You abandoned the pruning shears and welcomed each weed You permitted the soil to select its own seed But it would be unfair to a**ume you don't care For you pay great attention to all that goes there But you simply abstain from a plan or design You just let it all hang out and take its own time You just let it all hang out and take its own time And you follow a thread in a book that you've read Or in something that someone you heard somewhere said You say, "It's all connected, it's all intertwined If you let it all hang out and take its own time If you let it all hang out and take its own time" Well, you don't move too fast, you make it all last You encounter each moment before it is past And you say, "Walking slow in this world is no crime" You just let it all hang out and take its own time...
