lyrics

Keys and Seeds-

I keep a pocket fulla dried corn and another full of keys
I place the kernels in the locks and plant the keys like seeds
I wander the afternoon to let my shadow breathe
and measure off the distance between the wants and the needs

Digging out a piece of chalk, I write the numbers down
on old railroad tickets that I find scattered on the ground
I bundle them up and mail them off to a place that don’t exist
And despite my crimes, they arrive on time, and the conductor grants my wish

I rode a train for days and nights, until I ran out of track
only thinking about the getting there, and not the coming back
so I took my time and lost my mind and drew myself a map
then waited telling stories until I felt Destiny’s cold slap

I reached into my pocket to find a strange new key
and hanging from the end of it was a photograph of me
I put it into the lock and turned it carefully
and for an instance I glimpsed the workings of what it means to be

I closed the door and locked it tight, and put away the key
then wandered around this dusty town doubting everything I see
I went back to my practice of planting keys and seeding locks
and when nighttime fell I turned in to listen for what knocks

Still on the train that is my brain and long since out of track
I’m ready for what’s ahead of me and I ain’t never looking back
the key I found has opened me, and now I am the map
and I’m sitting here telling you stories while Destiny takes a nap
yeah, I’m sitting here telling you stories…
