lyrics

My children were thoughts that flew out of my mouth
They flew to my friends who had fled from the south
I'm here but my thoughts are with you
and it's splitting me nearly in two

When I love things I don't let them go
I love you as I think you know
The earth's plates could shift, they could quake, they could rip
It still wouldn't compare, not one little bit
to the damage you've done to me dear
I am faulty when you are not near

You're a pioneer but I am a boulder
While you move west I stay and grow older
I'll never be satisfied
But I gather my moss here with pride

To restart you need a starting place
You need armor for what you might face
You can complain, you can doubt, you can scream, you can pout
But there's no pulling out of this race

To stay still requires a sum of faith
You might like it if you try a taste
It's expensive and fragrant and aged
It's bitter at first
but soon you'll have that thirst
and you'll outlast them all for the taste
