Beat A Drum

the sun reflected in the back of my eye

I knocked my head against the sky

the dragonflies are busy buzzing me

seahorses if we were in the sea

halfway from coal, halfway to diamond.

my fall knocked a mean chip out of me.

I'm gathering as far as I can reach

we're perched up on the precipice

and this is what I've seen

this is all I want it's all I need

this is all I am it's everything

this is all I want it's all I need.

a bluejay hectors from the felled catalpa tree

doctorate in science and a theologian's

dream

the dragonflies are trying to lecture me

seahorses if we were in the sea

this is all I want it's all I need

this is all I am it's everything

this is all I want it's all I need.

beat a drum for me, like a butterfly wing

tropical storm across the ocean

but don't explain, I'm sure I'll want to know.

but don't forget, we're just halfway from coal

this is all I want it's all I need

this is all I am it's everything

this is all I want it's all I need.
