lyrics
it's like you know of hidden panels built in every shelf
for when a need arises that doesn't benefit yourself
and a hinge swings, and a latch clicks
and you disappear whenever I need help
and how is it when the sun comes out you step right into sight
as if you'd hid between the scattered beams of fallen light
you're here to taste the good life
but you're gone by the end of the night
perhaps it's too much to ask
the task of being present
can't be demanded
no line in the sand
will guide you to to your space
your place in the plan
maybe lending a hand
is it really shadows swiftly fleeting 'cross your face
or is it that I wish that I could be your saving grace
when I ask if you're okay,
you just say it's fine and gaze at your shoelaces
perhaps it's too much to ask
the task of being present
can't be demanded
no line in the sand
will guide you to to your space
your place in the plan
maybe lending a hand
or going on your way
I wish that you would stay
if I just let you wander in and take part as you feel
the gains my patience harvests far outpaces my own yields
but if you're not here for winter
I would rather work alone in my fields
