Maple Boy

crash course in death
 with every single breath
 a shallow broken whisper comes to mind
 a raspy goodbye now the last words left behind
 a little withered but mostly weathered
 a legend that chose to nurture the bottom
 and now in it's place a legacy of full grown trees
 one that I am proud to say I'll be
 young trees rise up from the bottom
 doing what the old one's taught 'em
 from a world away I can hear your leaves everyday
 from a world away I can hear your leaves everyday
 and with one last tractor ride a slow blue through the green and brown
 a boy with a heavy heart and mind
 with every tool and every skill he had to look inside himself
 to find the one to change direction
 it was an classic reaction for one raised by the master
 young trees rise up from the bottom
 using what the old ones taught 'em
 from a world away I can hear your leaves everyday
 from a world away I can hear your leaves everyday
 anchorless seeds still stuck in the weeds and I cant believe it
 tell me only say good things and I will complete it
 drifting seeds still stuck in the weeds and I cant believe it
 tell me only say good things and I will complete it
 young trees rise up from the bottom
 doing what the old one's taught 'em
 from a world away I can hear your leaves everyday
 from a world away I can hear your leaves everyday
