The Sapling Lyrics - David Gray

Gonna lay down in the grass 

And watch that acorn 

Split in two 

Slowly take root 

While the clock upon the wall 

Makes idle boasts 

And my mind's out cruising 

Silent coasts 

Though the ghosts of better days 

Might twist my eyes 

Gonna stand my ground 

Watch that sapling rise 

Just as long as I've the strength 

Well I'll raise that flag 

Like a wisp of cloud 

From a mountain crag

Now this is awkward 

I kept it bottled up too long 

Years like tiny drops of rain 

On a glassy lake 

Leaving nought but circles 

In their wake 

Though we barely comprehend 

What the question is 

Only know for certain 

The answer's YES

Now this is awkward 

I really don't know where to begin 

I kept it bottled up too long 

I know that feeling too yeah 

Don't ask me where the time has gone 

I know that feeling too yeah 

Days I can't tell no right from wrong 

I know that feeling too yeah 

I kept it bottled up too long 

Know that feeling 

Know that feeling 

Tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it 

Like sunlight breaking through yeah 

Tell me about it tell me about it tell me about it 

I know that feeling too 

Gonna lay down in the grass 

And watch that acorn 

Split in two 

Slowly take root
