Mark Wilson - Tall Trees lyrics

Just as the tall tree stands unmoved by daily pa**ions Just as the sky's a roof over our heads Just as we navigate the shoals of those discussions There's no more rights than wrong We're meeting in our heads All we ever needed is this place I'm rolling back, like a monk that's taken holy vows I've jumped aboard the here and now I'm back Like a Boeing safely landed A vessel that's been stranded I'm back I found out kinda late I found out kinda slow No pride in circumstance no feelings did I show I did some desert time slowing down the mind And then caught a wave to carry me back All we ever needed is in this place I'm rolling back, like a choirboy with a lust for life A cherry picker reaching ripe. I'm back Like a kingfish spitting out the hook I'm coming round for a second look I'm rolling back Like an astronaut's moon landing Like a swamp that you can stand in Replete with all my foibles No catastrophe avoided Like Muhammad Ai's punching bag Or Rupert Murdoch's latest swag A counselor still listening a prisoner forgotten A farmer praying for some rain Blocking existential pain Like Genghis who was known as Khan A pile up on the autobahn Like a scientist counting galaxies A mother with more mouths to feed Like a rainbow serpent on the run The baggy green still chewing gum The early morning rising sun Built to last and born to run A microsecond's worth of fun I think I've heard the starter's gun I'm back
