The Boy Bathing
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Mary, your leaves are all cold
2
But why do they take on such youth when you're old
3
Once you were made up with Christmas lights and bells
4
But you were hollow on the inside and no one could tell
5
What good is your life if you're stuck in your roots
6
Can't feel any sun 'cause you're under a roof
7
Let go of the leaves Mary and fingers are all bone
8
There will be photographs to remember your place on the lawn
9
You collect the leaves to scatter on your farm
10
And grow cautious fruit on nervous apple trees
11
Shaking from their roots doesn't keep them warm
12
Frost comes before the freeze
13
There is no place in the dirt for a sailor like me
14
Who sees trees chained not rooted to the earth
15
So I pack my bags and wander to the docks
16
To pull out the hermit crabs and collect the bottle tops
17
Where the water is clean
18
I will see your face again
19
I won't have to bail
20
I've got a new white sail
21
When I drift to the ocean floor
22
They could say I fell into a spiral shell
23
And you can say I want another Camelot
24
In the clean white cloth of a restaurant
25
And then the telephone sounds like a microphone
26
A head of stone
27
The blades of grass all around it grew
28
Green where the dirt moved
29
Not a place to rest
30
I am cutting down on the grass
31
And fighting with the emptiness
32
Buried to fertilize the trees
33
I don't to see you stabbing on the lawn tonight
34
With a garbage can of leaves and a flashlight
