In The Morning

Give me a leaf in a condiment jar
Fill it with well water
My feet and my head
Tucked in and wet
Beneath a plate of shale bone

I liked it and I'd do it again
To be a turtle and a mayonnaise magnet
The world is quick and I'm a coward boy
So I'll see you in the morning

Give me a corner of the third drawer down
Or hang me up from the mantle
There's not a foot in this place
But I've got plenty of space
Somewhere there's another

I liked it and I'd do it again
To be a sock and made of polyester
Well nothing's easier than wearing me out
So I'll see you in the morning

Give me a plot and I'll tell you a story
About the trials of birds and beavers
The hammock swings, I count my rings
And my roots
In your backyard

I liked it and I'd do it again
To be a tree and a canine kickstand
Everyone's a user and I can't say no
So I'll see you in the morning

In the morning
In the morning
So I'll see you in the morning
