Take my words, my wisdom spend
my tongue the dogs will feed,
the calling birds and turtle doves
will nest in silent trees,
free from gaming men who shout
and hazel coppice snare,
taking time to lay an egg
and rest upon it there
If all the winter's bitter shriek
was bottled up and sold,
I buy it for a rainy day
secure the price of cold,
but I can't change or stand the sight
of feeling on repeat,
again, again with Nicholas knee
but where is the mercy seat?
He's one of us, he's one of us,
between the flesh and bone there's blood,
he's come for us, he's come for us,
between the wood and stone there's love
The sovereign state of affairs
is searching for a crown,
it has to be a metaphor
we aren't worthy of one now,
but even if we found a prince
peace is what we need,
and could scholars and farmers really
all manage to agree
Trust find now all of me,
fill in between,
joy be the overflow,
be all I need to know
