In the morning when the world came awake
Before you knew me I knew your name
It was painted across the day as it breaks 
An impression in your window frame 

When you saw me out your window
Singing from the garden
Only the beginning 
I’m only getting started
I don't mind the digging 
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom

But one day I'll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what’s my name
Because I need you to want me the same

When you saw me washing dishes
Singing from the bottom
Only the beginning 
I’m only getting started
I don't mind the digging 
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been in the ashes
Singing from the garden

Where everything reaches for the sun
Still unsure of what we’ll become
But I need you to reach out to me
See in me more than I could see
Because I’m afraid that…

One day is only two words we say
I don’t want to let them get in the way 
Of all the plans that we should be making right now
Right now

Who took the time and where did they take it
I want to take it back, I don't want to let them break it
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

You see now one day I'll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what's my name
Because I need you to want me the same

When you saw me out your window
Singing from the bottom
Only the beginning
I'm only getting started
I don't mind the digging
Baby, I'll work harder
I’ve been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom 

One day is only two words we say
I don’t want to let them get in the way 
Of all these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

But who took the time and where did they take it
I want to take it back, I don't want to let them break it
All these plans that we should be making right now

From Here To Now To You

Washing Dishes

I've got to get home 
There's a garden to tend  All the fruit’s on the ground
The birds have all moved back Into my attic 
Whistle then static 
The young learn to fly 
I will patch up the holes once again  

Well I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
 I thought it was sleeping
I guess it got fed up with not being fed 
I would be too I keep food in my belly 
And hope that my time isn't soon  

So I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand A
nd whatever I find
I’ll find my way back to you 
And if you could try to find it too 
Because this place is overgrown
 It’s a waxing moon 

Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too  
In the back of my house 
There’s a trail that won't end
 We went walking so far 
It grew back in  
And now there's no trail at all
Only grass growing taller 
Get out my machete
And battle with time once again
 But I'm bound to lose
Because I'll be damned if time don't win

  I got to get home 
There's a garden to tend 
All the seeds from the fruit 
Buried and begin 
Their own family trees 
Teach them thank you and please
 Spread their own roots 
Then watch the young fruit grow again 
This old trail 
Will lead me right back to where it begins

  So I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand 
And whatever I find
I’ll find my way back to you 
And if you could try to find it too 
Because this place is overgrown
 It’s a waxing moon

 Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too
 Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too
Home is wherever we are 
If there's love here too

Home

Makes a nice good-night-song, I guess. Lovely, lovely song by Jack Johnson.

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Walk with me Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We can rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we’ve found
Safely walk to school without a sound
We safely walk to school without a sound

Well here we are no one else
We walk to school all by ourselves
There’s dirt on our uniform
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it's time to learn
We clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers letters learn to spell
Nouns and books and show and tell
Play time we will throw the ball
Back to class through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

We don’t notice any time pass
'Cause we don’t notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
The teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes it when you sing

Tonight I’ll dream in my bed
While silly thoughts run through my head
Of the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet
You and I will walk together again

'Cause I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
