Somebody

I heard from a guy who told somebody

Bout the deserts dry

And the forests muddy

 

But they forgot to tell bout the rainy skies

They forgot to tell bout the trees so high

They forgot to tell bout the name the wind gave itself

They forgot to tell bout the tiger like nobody else

 

I heard from a guy who told somebody 

Bout the deserts dry

And the forests muddy

 

But they forgot to tell bout the dunes of sand

They forgot to tell bout waves so grand

They forgot to tell bout the sights that stayed his hand

They forgot to tell bout the singing like a band

 

I heard from a guy who told somebody

Bout the deserts dry 

and the forests muddy

 

I told them they were right ‘bout so many things

But I told them they were wrong ‘bout the real kings and queens

    The clock is broken, it stopped ticking ten years ago, stopped counting how much time had passed. It is an old grandfather clock, wood of oak, and sculpted to perfection.
