Simple Gifts
slouching towards the sky's extent
on the edges of a waste
with something darker than a hope
something brighter than a fate
and in the saddle of my tauntaun
is a sapphire studded ring
and I keep it to remind me
what I am and what I'll be
mhmm
when true simplicity is gained
how much have we lost
I invested in them feelings
I paid dearly for them thoughts
in the cockpit of a spacecraft unknown
with an acquaintance
it occurred to me my mind was probably
overdue for maintenance
I wanna lay beneath the grass
so I never leave a mark
I wanna exhale oxygen
like a tree out in the park
mhmm
when true simplicity is gained
how much then is lost
I invested in these feelings
I paid dearly for these thoughts
when true simplicity is gained
can I then be self-assured
how I envy all them stones
how they never say a word
on the calculus
abacus
in the highest wizard station
Lord I hope he's pulling beads for me
I want to count
but we all pout the same amount
when true simplicity is gained
how much then is lost
I invested in these feelings
I paid dearly for these thoughts
when true simplicity is gained
can I then be self-assured
how I envy all them stones
they don't never say a word
