lyrics

You ought to be an island
with palm trees for your clothes;
I'd row out and sleep on you
when I'm in need of some repose.

You ought to be a chestnut tree,
or a willow by the brook;
I'd climb up in your branches
and read an ancient book.

You ought to be a mountaintop
ablaze in autumn's fire;
and I could be the little towns
with hills, and fields, and spires
and let you be the mountain.

You ought to be an ancient pier
connecting sea and land;
nobly greying in the sun,
returning into sand.

Or maybe you're just an old barn
full of useful things;
watching as the spring turns into summer
into autumn into winter into spring . . .
